Who we are.

 
From Rust To Roadtrip Ben Lucy Rusty LDV Convoy travel blog photography videography youtube video vlogs Bedford

Lucy and Ben are partners, photographers, filmmakers and writers, exploring the outlands of Europe and beyond. The duo have been living and travelling in a self-converted LDV Convoy camper van for nine years.

Spanning the length and breadth of mainland Europe, Asia and beyond, the couple have documented their encounters with the people they meet and cultures discovered, whilst offering a candid insight into life on the road.

Embracing the slow travel ethos, Lucy and Ben immerse themselves in local culture, cuisine, history and politics and document their findings through written and photographic musings and essays and documentary vlogs

 

What we do.

Photographers.

Lucy and Ben were drawn together nine years ago through their love of photography, whilst studying at university in Cornwall. Since then, they have collaborated on numerous projects, developing existing skills and exploring a mutual interest in documentary and travel photography.

In a rapidly urbanising world, the duo have combined their love of slow travel and storytelling in a bid to document the lives of remote landscape dwellers in far flung corners of the world. Their most recent project focuses on Albania’s vast Northern mountain regions, while they are currently working on an ongoing self-documentary project chronicling their lives on the road.

All work is available to view here.

Filmmakers.

As largely self-taught filmmakers, Lucy and Ben are successfully building an ever-increasing online following through their YouTube channel and Patreon. Here they offer an insight in to their travels, through an endearing mixture of documentary, cinematic and vlog shooting.

Previously, the duo have worked with companies such as TomTom and LKQ Euro Car Parts (via CityPress) to produce high-quality ad-based content to a specific brief, whilst remaining true to their own unique style.

More recently they have presented and co-filmed three series of Europe Hidden Hot Springs Journey for NHK TV in Japan.

Writers.

Accompanying their photographic works are poignant written pieces, weaving together a combination of travel stories and factual accounts across their photo essays on L&B Journals and their blog posts.

Lucy studied English Literature & Language at A-Level and received top grades for her dissertation on Photography in Contemporary Culture at university. She previously worked for two years as a content writer at Outbound Living but primarily focusses on creating content for the couple’s blog and social media.
