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!
