Go to a drafting supply store and buy a couple square feet of Mylar (opaque white plastic sheeting for drafting) and get some binder clips. Clip in front of your lower wattage lights (such as a camera frezzi or somesuch). I'm still using mylar I bought 15 years ago daily on my camera. The clips mean you can rip it off in a moment's notice to adjust your intensity.
Leave the shooting to a photographer. Simple isnt it ?
One other thing. Expand your reporting to NEWS, and not just secular "black news." The racial slant on your blog isn't merely obvious, it's narrow, biased, and lends itself to being quickly deleted and ignored. Louis Farrakan a leader ??? How embarrassing.

Dryer fabric sheets, after going through enough times where they don's smell anymore (although that could be a good thing).
Baker's parchment paper works well and can definitely handle a lot of heat.

He might be a VJ, but he's trying to better his shooting that might be a good thing.
