 What was growing up like for you?

 I lived in the country side with my grandma. This is the reason why I love nature. In mid 90`s I lived in small town with my mom. But I was a  self-dependent girl. I started work early. In the end of 90`s I felt that I need more space for self realizatio sp I packed my bags and departed to Moscow, where I live still to this day.




 Do you see yourself as Model?

Now I see myself as a photographer. But my experience as a model defiantely helps me now in my own photography work.




 When did you become involved in modelling and what do you love about it?

First time I was shot as a model I was 17. Haha…it was an awful photo set. I was shy and afraid of being in front of the camera. My face looked silly and bright red!
After a while I was seen by matreshka-girls pro.
I really love to work as a model, I can`t describe why. Maybe I like to be attractive in photos. And I love the experience of seeing how different photographers see me through the lens, I mean every photographer discovers new aspects of me.

 I want become very good photographer. I want to have a lot of beautiful models to work with…There are tons of beautiful women in Russia and I needand want to shoot them all!
