Dundee Tattoo Convention Promotional Video

So I've just put the first promo video for the dundee tattoo convention and so far had some great feedback! Im soo happy you guys like it I put a lot of hard work into filming and editing that video, but don't worry there are plenty more videos AND photos to come these next few weeks so watch this space!

The convention was great, some amazing work was done there I couldn't believe my eyes, I loved some of the black and grey pieces by Hammer God Tattoo, such realism you should go check them out! There were some great bands including mama's baby who were really energetic on stage and the singer was awesome. Pretty Things Peepshow were a real treat, a burlesque troop from America, being a lover of burlesque I was soo excited to see them as I couldn't last time they came to scotland. A combination of traditional burlesque to sideshow acts of fireating, dancing on glass you name it, I would definitely recommend seeing them. There were some pretty stalls too, was really hard to not spend all my money on shiny jewellery and some amazing hand painted shoes by what is sole? For it's first year I couldn't believe how much was going on and how well it did. Makes me excited for next year. I hope you guys enjoy the video and others to come!.

Also as some people have been asking if you wanna find out more about booking me for events, promotional videos, photo shoots and much more just give me an email on- lucyderry@hotmail.co.uk :)

Modelling And My Experience

Hello everyone, I've just gotten back from the Dundee Tattoo Convention where I was the official videographer, so gonna be spending the next little while huddled in my room editing till all hours of the night, but I love it :). Anyway before I jump into that I thought I would do a post on my recent experiences in modelling. As some of you may know I am now represented by an alternative agency, The Twisted Agency and now have my first sponsor, an alternative jewellery line- Finch bespoke jewellery.

I only really got into modelling as of this year, as I started becoming more confident and showing my true self, looking how I always wanted too but too scared before of peoples comments I had more and more people suggesting I should give it a try, from other models to photographers so I thought to myself why not? I was really nervous in the beginning but then began to fall in love with it seeing the final images at the end felt unreal, it was soo strange to be on the other side of the camera.I soon found my niche in alternative modelling, I loved the style and look and really felt like myself in these shoots and as I get more tattoos and piercings I get more excited about my progression into the alt world. I have made some great Friends through modelling and had some amazing experiences so far. it has given me confidence I thought I could never have, finally after years of self hate and insecurities I am truly beginning to accept myself and can honestly say I like what I see in the mirror :). As expected I have gotten some hate for modelling however the mass of lovely comments have completely overridden them. Having done my first boudoir shoot last week was a real eye opener, I never thought I would have been able to do something like that before, really exposing myself and body to people, but now I have to say it's probably my favourite thing to shoot now. Not to say I am changing careers! Film and photography will always be my main propriety but these past few months of creatively branching out have been wonderful. I can't wait to see what the future holds, it may be a long journey to full recovery from years of anxiety and self esteem issues but so far it's been good and I'm gonna keep pushing through :). Hope you all enjoyed this post, now off to edit!

Sarah Stitches Photoshoot

Hello all! I have some big news for you, I have recently been accepted as a representative model of the Twisted Agency, Im officially an alternative model, so expect some shoots with me in front of the camera very soon. Also I dyed my hair blue but more on that another day, what I wanted to show you was some pictures from my shoot today with alternative model Sarah Stitches, I was really excited to work with her, having seen her previous work I was very impressed, she has such a stunning and original look I thought to myself I have to shoot with her. Our theme was geeky schoolgirl which fit perfectly with our location, Aberdeen University, Sarah didn't have anything like this in her portfolio and neither had I so it was a fun new experience for us both. I was really happy with my shots, she was very natural in front of the camera and it really shows. We got to talking after and she was lovely and bubbly, we are in the midst of a possible collaboration again with us both modelling, so keep your eyes peeled folks!
