A couple of months ago I shot some promotional images for Xtreme Chainsaw, these involved the lovely Adele posing with chainsaws of various sizes.

Simon, who is the talented artist of Xtreme Chainsaw, normally carves things like this Heron. Remember this all done with chainsaws – amazing!

Well Simon has moved on to bigger things and is currently working on an almost life-size copy of a rider and superbike that will be auctioned at this year’s superbike meeting at Cadwell Park. I managed to get some shots of him in action at his workshops. Apart from getting covered in sawdust and gassed by 2 stroke fumes it was a great shoot. This guy’s talents are amazing, you will be able to see the finished carving at Cadwell Park in August but in the meantime here are some shots of him in action.

You can find out more about Simon on his website www.extremechainsaw.co.uk

All the shots of Simon were taken using my Nikon SB900 and SB800 flashes, for the one of him cutting the tree I used a half cut of CTO on the flash and set the white balance to tungsten, after a little tweaking in Lightroom it gave me the evening sun look I was after.

As always comments and questions are more than welcome.

This is going to sound like a confession, forgive me father for I have sinned, it is several months since I last blogged! In fact the last time was back in February and things have been pretty hectic since then. I’ve been very busy with actors and dancers portfolios, it’s the time of year when students are getting to the end of their courses and need images for their CVs, showcases etc.

I’ve also been shooting for the Bride Beautiful Wedding Fairs, Models4U Charity Fashion shows and the Louth Pole Dancers, so lots to talk about over the next few weeks. Helen, who is the other half of Applephoto, will be back on the team full time after her 6 month break and will be contributing to the blog. She is a pro make-up artist and stylist, I am hoping she is going to be giving some tips on photographic make-up in general and maybe talk about some specific looks.

To round of this very quick entry here are the models from the first Bride Beautiful exhibition held at the fabulous Normanby Hall.
