Download Festival And Haul

Hello everyone! It's been a while as some of you may know I was away last week in england for the greatest heavy metal festival ever known as Download and Im not gonna lie it was amazing :D. The 8 and a half hour drive was soo worth it, especially getting to see one of my favourite bands bullet for my valentine for the second time this year and Papa Roach an old favourite of mine as a teenager, however on the friday stupidly me and everyone else decided to get right to the front for slipknots set, well that had to be the most mental gig of my life. Being the clumsy mess I am I tore the ligaments in my ankle being thrown in a huge mosh pit. Unfortunately we did have to leave early as I couldn't really walk and my boyfriend got a stomach infection, whom by the way never gets ill! Guess it was just bad luck however I enjoyed every minute anyway and we have planned our trip for next year already.

Anyway while we were at Download there were some amazing stalls, including clothing, body jewellery even oxygen bars. I was really tempted to get pierced while I was there but slapped my wrist knowing a new piercing and a festival with zero hygiene don't mix. So I did treat myself, I first got this amazing frankenstein and bride cardigan, I had my eye on this for a while but it was sold out EVERYWHERE so when I saw it at download I just had to have it.

The next item is an alice in wonderland shirt but with a bit of a makeover, I love this top with the piercings,tattoos and metallic top I have to say Alice looks badass a much better version if I do say so myself.

Next is a gorgeous dark angel top, what I love about this top is the long sleeves with lace detailing its great for a colder day as most of my top don't have long sleeves and the gothic background and goblet are a nice touch.

Now one of my friends told me its a sort of tradition at your first year at download to get a hat. There were soo many I couldn't choose but when I saw this checkered leather hat with the goggles I knew that was the one for me. It was perfect for slipknot and my boyfriend got a similar with devil horns and our friend Lewis got a gas mask, he looked pretty scary with it on and his hood up but at least no one barged into us at the arena thanks lewis!

I also got some jewellery as you can see below, including a melting Chanel necklace I've wanted for a while and a new jack skellington pendant because frankly you can't get enough of anything tim burton. I also got some cute hair bows.

Benefit North East Bloggers Event

It's Friday! Everyone's looking forward to a sunny weekend and a new blog post ;)

Last night me and some fellow bloggers met up for a Benefit make-up event, it was great fun!. We got given a demonstration on some new products with helpful tips and tricks and even some cheeky freebies. Both the benefit girls giving the demonstration were soo lovely and energetic, the life of the party! They managed to get everyone to mingle, and the organiser of all north east blogger events Laura was there. It was really good chatting with her and discussing future film projects not only with the north east bloggers but benefit too!. All the bloggers were really friendly and it was nice to meet people with different talents and interests within the blogging community.

Below you can see the video I made during the event and a few little snaps too hope you all enjoy. :)

Klayer Davidson Photo-shoot

For once I was in front of the camera as opposed to behind and my god was it strange! Definitely a completely different experience however it was soo much fun regardless :). In the past I had been offered modelling opportunities but was too shy and self conscious to take the opportunity, but lately I've been more willing to put myself out there and out of my comfort zone especially with the business doing so well. Fellow photographer Claire was such a sweetheart, a pleasure to work with she put my nerves at ease instantly and we bonded over common interests. She was always asking my opinion on where to shoot and worried for my safety in my giant heels!. Me and Claire discussed the shoot to be more of a gothic feel, as this is the type of modelling I would like to get into, the editing particularity in the trees was a great representation of that. Overall I loved the way the photos turned out hope to work with claire again in the future. :) Rest assured though everyone my main focus shall be BEHIND the camera and film sets.

On another note I have an exciting interview tomorrow about possibly doing permanent studio work for a family photography business, however still continuing my other freelance work and a meeting tomorrow about my film festival project, exciting stuff! Below you can see all my photos from the shoot, and please check out claires blog too!

Was delighted to come home to see these after a fun day of shooting. Credit has to be given to Julie Small an Art Student at RGU her work is brilliant, gave me great feedback to my ideas, and we were able to collaborate our creative minds together for this great logo.

Vision Romania Video

Well I have certainly been busy this week, I can now finally tell you all what I've been up to. Earlier this year I had been asked by the wonderful charity Vision to create a promo video for them once they had gotten back from visiting and helping in Romania. They brought me back some great footage, the work they do is really amazing and the charity members have been soo lovely and kind to me. So here we have the promo video from their May 2013 trip. Hope you all Enjoy :D

The Art Of Burlesque

Burlesque is a beautiful art form, it's not only about the actual strip tease but is telling a story. This past year I have been doing a lot of work with burlesque performers in my home town of Aberdeen. I had always been a fan however since being able to work with some of these women up close and personal has completely opened my eyes. I thought I would share with you all some of the work I have done with the wonderful performer Magenta Lust, a twisted dark performer based in Scotland, she is not only an amazing performer but a dear friend:) Many more collaboration with her to be coming soon!
