Who I am:

I am a model and an actress.  I am also a make up artist. I am bilingual (English & Russian). In my free time, I draw, paint, and design hand crafted jewelry. I am 5’9” - so up to industry standards.

I am pleasant to work with, professional, and open-minded. I love to try new things and work on concepts that go beyond semi sedate images. I'm flexible and I want as much variety in my portfolio as possible. I'm always looking for fresh ideas. I am always open to collaborating with designers, hair & make-up stylists, other models, bands, photographers, etc. to coordinate new and unique looks for both my portfolio and yours!

 

My goals:
I would like to continue building my portfolio and exploring new genres. I am interested in many styles of photography and modeling, and have many creative ideas. I can provide my own make up. I need talented photographers who have a vision and who are not afraid of experimenting with different styles. I also need photoshop wizards who would help me by creating various backgrounds for awesome fantasy and sci-fi themed photos just to name a couple of genres. I want to meet local designers and collaborate with local bands to work on their CD covers, posters, and music videos. I want to be challenged by local film producers to portray complex individuals on camera.
I don’t have a “set look,” I am constantly evolving. So if what you see in my portfolio is not what you shoot or what you want for an upcoming project or event, PLEASE do not dismiss me. I can pull it all off. I am not interested in nudes but am very flexible otherwise.

 

My modeling interests:
Include (but are not limited to) rockabilly, retro, pinup, anime/cosplay, fantasy, sci-fi, fairytale, goth, punk, burlesque, Victorian, film noir, catalogue work, bridal, hair and make up modeling, stock,  & beauty. I'd love to have a photo shoot with a (friendly) snake - the bigger the better, or any animal, really. I'd love to do a photo shoot revolving around the 7 deadly sins. I'd love to do anything that involves great architecture, a couple photo shoot (my fiance models too), or a concept that makes one go "huh?"

I do my own make up and hair styling, I enjoy doing it and I'm very flexible in styles. I did my makeup in all of my photos, and can do virtually any look, however I do have a MUA available for extra help when needed. I am not afraid of getting dirty for a photo shoot. I don’t mind hanging upside down or getting covered in random objects like lime slices. I like things that are very artistic and sometimes just misunderstood. I am very artistic and would like something that reflects that.

I am located in Petersburg and come up to Richmond a few days a week for school. I have a car and a driver’s license, so I can travel anywhere in VA (and outside of VA if gas is paid).
