Hi! I've been so busy with work and training that I am not on here much. Pardon if it takes me a few days to return messages and comments. Thanks!
My interview in VBLAZIN is very informative should you want to get to know me!

I am Eastern European with a touch of Northern and Asian. You'll find me exotic, entertaining, professional, competitively fit yet undeniably feminine. I am a Doctor in "real life" , but I love to model for supplemental income and sheer fun. I obsess with fitness, glamour, lingerie, and art. Not fashion built, but I make the best of opportunities. In addition to my main focus, I hope my port reflects VERSATILITY: fit, sultry, cute, dark, commercial, beauty and my love of animals...
I love innovation. Things that bore me to tears are:
-CLICHE. Most of the things in photography have been done, used and recycled, yet I look to work with unique vision photographers.
-FULL NUDES. ***MY PORT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A PICTORIAL FROM THE LATEST OBGYN VISIT or 2 PAGES OF FREE PORN!***
-COMBINATION OF THE ABOVE! Nude motorcycle, nude bathtub, nude fetish.. etc - really? - "Florals for spring? GROUNDBREAKING!"
My philosophy on TF collaborations:
1. Professional models and photographers get paid by the CLIENT - not necessarily one another. All commercial projects will carry client fee
2. TF depends on current needs of BOTH parties. Don't take decline personal - your work is probably great, I simply may not need those kind of images at the time. In which case, I may be available for a fee. If I accept TF offer, I want at least one image per look to enhance both of our portfolios
3. Travel assistance is always appreciated. My travel time is VERY limited. Please go straight for plane ticket, not gas money - thank you!
4. PLEASE DO NOT request to work with me IF you expect payment. I have more images then I can ever use for a portfolio, and demand had been amazing - I am grateful.
Thank you!
I rotate profile images as tributes to awesome photographers I have worked with.
