I was born in 2005. When I was 7, I became interested
in martial arts and devoted my free time to
training in karate. By the age of 11, I have achieved
successes, became the winner and prize-winner of
international and Russian competitions.
For the first time, I have tried myself as a model at
the age of 11 with photographer Evgeny Glotov (@
eglotov). This photoshoot was a fascinating portraiture
experiment, both for the photographer and me.
Evgeny believed that this time would be an ordinary
children’s photoshoot, but the result exceeded all
his expectations. Subsequently, he wrote about how
my workability and professionalism surprised him.
My first catwalk appearance was the fashion show
by Russian designers at the 15th season of ESTET
FASHION WEEK.
A great success was meeting the portrait photographer
Anton Leonov (@tonik_al), who offered me a
stylized photoshoot. This creative union has grown
into a professional job. As a result, amazing frames
were born. They show my nature, potential and
personality. Thanks to the resulting portraits, promotional
offers followed.
In the summer of 2019, I participated in an advertising
campaign with the Adidas AG - winter season
2019 and The Procter & Gamble Gillette brand.
At the age of 13, I played more than ten roles in
feature films and short films, I have a Cambridge English
PET for Schools certificate, additionally study
German, want to study directing and devote myself
to the cinema.
