Portrait of Lena.
"I made a cover up tattoo on my finger with a black square. Before that there was a moon in that direction like in Islam. When I was traveling from Ukraine to Russia they did not want to let me in because they thought that I was going to fight for ISIL."

Tattoo on the arm: ‘I dreamed - that the world is ruled by a dream’.
I did this intimate shoot for artist, Masha Somik. @mashasomik . The photoshoot was very personal. Masha asked to do it in order to look at herself from the outside and love her body. This was a very important step in trusting me as a photographer because at the time of shooting we saw each other for the first or second time.

Portrait of Dasha
Dasha @dariavikhreva is a model and an incredible lover of French bulldogs, as she said. We met when I was in St. Petersburg in a Chinese eatery. We drank Chinese vodka and the next day went to shoot this portraiture.

Porrtrait of Elene.
Last year I went to Georgia during winter but stayed there for half a year. Elene was the first person I photographed there. I met her in the Drama Bar where she worked there as a bartender. @mtvare.s

Anya: Why did you agree to this photoshoot?
Elene: You liked my kimono and asked to photograph me in this kimono. That was the first thing that got me interested.
