*Big thank you to all who joined me at Murphy's Law II in Midlothian/Richmond, VA on Halloween!! The bands were amazing and the hot rod show went fantastic! I made tons of new friends and took pictures with my sweet fans. Thank you guys so much!*
Hi there! I'm Anya. I hail from St. Petersburg, Russia. I am a model, actress, and occasionally a make up artist. I have long brown hair that comes down to my waist. I'm also 34" inseam - pretty long legs! I am interested in many styles of photography and have a lot of creative ideas and concepts. I usually do my own make up - I enjoy doing it and I'm very flexible in styles. I did my own makeup in all of my photos, and can do virtually any look, however if you have a MUA for a specific shoot, I'm all for it. I am not afraid of getting dirty for a photo shoot, either.
Mud, paint, jell-o? Bring it on!
I like things that are very artistic and sometimes just misunderstood. I am a very artistic person and would like something that reflects that. My modeling interests include (but are not limited to) rockabilly, beauty, retro, pinup, anime/cosplay, fantasy or sci fi, fairytale, goth/gore, bright colors, punk, geek chic, glam, burlesque, dream/surreal, Victorian, film noir, catalogue work, bridal, hair & make up modeling, mobster/spy, doll, editorial, stock, and certain fetish costumes such as nurse, school girl, SWAT, Alice in wonderland, or naughty librarian. Morbid or avant garde is always interesting.
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 love swords, daggers, bows, and guns and would love to work with any weapons. I have a dagger of my own I could use in a shoot, and I have a ninja star as well. 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'd love to do theme photo shoots involving chess or playing cards. I'm a sucker for 80's video games, so a shoot involving that would be insanely appreciated. I don't mind hanging upside down or getting covered in random objects like lime slices. I would love to do anything "From Russia with Love" themed as an homage to my heritage.
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 or sci-fi themed photos, just to name a couple of genres. I want to meet local designers and would love to model for them.
I am in the process of signing with Modelogic modeling agency in Richmond, VA. I am also currently starring in a couple of local indie movies, "Why don't you get it?", "Jacked" and a horror flick that is being filmed in Richmond, and have been signed on for two more films coming out later this year. I have done a few runway shows here and there and have modeled for websites.
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 and open to collaborating with designers, hair & make-up stylists, other models, bands, photographers, etc. to coordinate new & unique looks for both my portfolio and yours!

I am interested in TFP/TFCD and of course, paid work. I will trade for clothes if I like them. Speaking of clothes, I have a diverse and extensive wardrobe, you'd be surprised what I can find in my closet. I make unique handcrafted jewelry and wear it to some of my photo shoots. I also have some wigs and tons of cool props. 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.
I am completely comfortable with group shoots. I play well with others and can even bring my own crew of models and make up artists with me - easy. The first four people in my top 8 can always be available to come with me to a shoot/audition/filming if necessary. Daelilian, Byron and I are all also make up artists and we often make our own jewelry, accessories, and sometimes clothes.
I live in Petersburg, but can travel to other cities in Virginia. I am in Richmond at least once a week due to having classes at VCU. Traveling outside of VA for projects is definitely an option if the travel is reimbursed.
