Can you tell us a little about you?
First of all, thank you for inviting me to share my story. I was born in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and I grew up in a big family that I’m very proud of Mongolia has such a rich heritage — once home to the largest empire in the world, with half of the population still living a nomadic lifestyle today It’s also a country of breathtaking landscapes and natural resources. I carry that identity with me everywhere I go. Today, I live in Paris where I work as a photo model and focus on building my own brand. I’m also a journalist and fashion designer, so creativity is truly at the center of my life.
If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?
Honestly, nothing. I’ve learned to fully accept who I am. The only “change” I’d wish for is to keep evolving — to learn, grow, and become a better version of myself every single day.
How did you start modelling?
I started in Mongolia at 18, and not long after, Paris became my base. I’ve now spent 17 years here as both a Face and Photo model. It’s been an incredible journey — I’ve represented some of the world’s most iconic beauty and fashion houses. For example, Shiseido for five years, Make Up For Ever for eleven years, Collagène Paris for five, L’Oréal for three, and since 2025, Guerlain. Along the way, I’ve also collaborated with Tom Ford, Christian Louboutin, NYX, IOMA, Clegg, Dsquared2, Moncler… each project has been a milestone that allowed me to grow as an artist and contribute to a bigger creative vision.
What do you think of the work as a model?
For me, modeling is art. It’s never just about wearing beautiful clothes or flawless makeup — it’s about telling a story. Every photoshoot is a chance to embody a vision and translate it into emotion, elegance, and inspiration. It takes discipline and professionalism, but also passion and imagination. What I love most is the power of transformation and the ability to connect with audiences across cultures. Modeling is not only a career for me, it’s a lifelong creative journey
What is your beauty regimen?
I keep it simple: cleanse twice a day, sunblock in the morning, night cream in the evening, a mask twice a week — and I always remove my makeup before bed.
What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others?
I’d say adaptability, creativity, and observation. People often tell me that my eyes carry a lot of emotion in photos, and I think that comes from being deeply observant and connected to people. I’m also confident and open to change, which allows me to bring fresh energy to each project.
What are some of your favorite experiences so far?
2023 I have crazy experience a photoshoot in Malta earlier this year It was January, freezing cold, and I was barefoot in just a bodysuit. I actually got sick the next day , but the pictures turned out stunning. It reminded me why I love what I do — pushing myself for creativity and being part of something bigger than comfort.

What are your plans for the future?
My dream is to continue building my brand, Narangerel Cashmere, and to open boutiques around the world. At the same time, I want to give back — my long-term goal is to start a global children’s charity, because I believe every child deserves love, care, and opportunity
Do you have any advice for those who want to start modelling?
Stay positive, even when things don’t go your way. Challenges are part of the journey, and they often lead you exactly where you need to be. The most important thing is to accept and love yourself Look in the mirror and recognize what makes you unique, because the way you see yourself is what the world will see too. Confidence comes first, and from that, charisma naturally follows. If you believe in yourself, you can truly achieve anything.
What do you think of the magazine?
I’m deeply honored to be featured on the cover. Modellen Land is such an inspiring platform for models, photographers, and artists. It reminds us of the importance of creativity and community in achieving our dreams. Thank you for giving me the space to share my story

Can you tell us a little about you?
I am a freelance photographer and teacher from Russia, now based in Istanbul. I am 35 years old, I was born in a small cold town in the northeast of Russia, then lived in Siberia in my student years and at the age of 25 I moved to Saint-Petersburg - the best city for artists in whole Russia. Besides taking pictures I teach photography: I give individual and group lessons and I have my online course «Cinematic portrait». I am introvert, love to draw and paint with acrylics and gouache, drive bicycle. Bali is important place for me where my life made a sharp turns 2 times, and I love coming back there. Now I live in Istanbul, learning Turkish and starting my new chapter as a photographer and artist.
How and when did you get into photography?
In university I studied English and Spanish and was supposed to be a translator But my heart has always belonged to art: from my early childhood I loved drawing, watching movies and later I started to take pictures of everything and was carrying my camera everywhere. So after my graduation I couldn’t imagine myself in any corporate job and I decided to continue my journey as an artist. I found a local photoschool and started to work there as a photographer and a teacher It was the time when I understood how magical photography can be - I found my place.
What does photography mean to you?
It’s my way to show how I see the world. I’ve always had the skill to observe and see beauty in ordinary things. Simple ray of sunlight can turn an old bench on the street into wonderful peace of art. And taking photos is like a challenge: can I find the angle, right moment and colours to show a person as beautiful as I can see him? It gives me this unique feeling which only artists are able to feel - the happiness of creation.
Where do you get inspiration from?
Several things can boost my inspiration. I can look at the person’s face and immediately get the idea of how and where I want to shoot him. Also the location can inspire me: I love shooting in old apartments, cosy parks and nature, city streets, coffee shops. And of course movies: many times I took some certain scene form movie and used it as reference point: I don’t like totally copying others works, but I often use some lightning ideas, colourcorrection or the conflict/story.
Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers. I call my style «cinematic»: it comes from my childhood passion for movies. I love to create truthful portraits that don’t look like photoshoot. My goal is to create a feeling that we are looking at a screenshot from a movie about some person.
That’s why I often create a story of the character, that logically explains, why we, for example, shoot in the forest, with a car, in the late evening. And I ask models to keep moving during the scene, not to do frozen poses, but behave naturally, like in real life.
Do you think in advance what you want in the picture?
Most of the times yes, I like planning my shoots. Usually I draw a storyboard, choose 2-3 locations, for each location we select different outfits - the story in this case is more deep, as if we live with the character not 1 hour but several days or more. And for each location I ask myself: what my character is going to do here? Sitting in coffee shop and reading a book, walking on the street, listening to music and carrying newspaper, laying on the grass in the park and eating an apple. These small details are very important - the portraits become closer to us, we can recognise ourselves in the pictures, which is rare and valuable thing.
Studio, on location or both?
Both, but preferably the location: it gives more freedom to interact with props, surroundings, to integrate person in realistic setting and create tons of various cinematic scenes. Working in studio is totally different but also exciting. The focus is totally on the person and light, that’s it, and you have to dig deeper, to work with poses and emotions. Studio shoots can teach you more subtle perception: even the slightest rotation of the face towards light or little bit more hairs falling down the cheek can change the portrait dramatically.
Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?
Photography is my main job, I’ve been doing it for 14 years, so I am definitely a paid professional. But it is integrated into my life so strongly that I can say that it’s more than job: it’s a lifestyle, hobby, mission.
Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?
Sony is my only love, I use Sony a7riii with 50mm and 85mm lenses. My favourite is 85mm and 135mm - longangled lenses create an «observer effect», as if we are looking at the person through binoculars. I love this effect and use it for creating cinematic vibes.
What has been your most memorable session and why?
Probably the one when I realised that I want to shoot in cinematic style. It was 2015, I just started my photography job and I didn’t like my works: people in my pictures were like plastic dolls, too perfect and too soulless. But once I was shooting a girl in winter outside in the park, the snowfall started and ruined her makeup and hair, but I kept shooting her and she suddenly became a movie character with her wet hair and red nose. That moment something clicked inside me and I decided to analyse movies and use cinematic approach. Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens? Sony is my only love, I use Sony a7riii with 50mm and 85mm lenses.

What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business? Shoot as much as you can and look at the greatest. The good visual taste sometimes is more important than hours of practice, so examine the best photographers, search for their backstage videos, analyse their approach and style. And practise practise practise. Do bad photoshoots, make mistakes - they are your best teachers. Don’t get upset when you fail the shoot: analyse your mistakes and keep going. And don’t forget to have fun in the process!
What do you think of our new magazine?
You are doing really good job by giving a chance for us, artists from different parts of the world, to talk about art and share our works. Thank you for this opportunity and good luck with your future projects!

Can you tell us a little about you?
My name is Céline Cheng and I am a professional model with many years of experience in the fashion, beauty, and commercial industries. Over the years, I have developed a strong sense of expression, body language, and visual storytelling. My strength lies in creating impactful looks and conveying emotion with precision and authenticity in every pose. I have a natural ability to work with lighting, camera angles, and styling, adapting seamlessly to the mood and direction of each shoot. Whether it’s high fashion, editorial, commercial campaigns, or beauty work. I am versatile, focused, and committed to delivering topquality results in both studio and on location settings. Photographers and clients value my professionalism, strong work ethic, and my ability to effortlessly shift between concepts, moods, and styles. I am confident both working independently and collaborating as part of a creative team. I look forward to working on inspiring projects and creating powerful, striking visuals together.
If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?
I have no desire to change who I am. I've learned that true confidence comes from embracing and loving yourself exactly as you are.
How did you start modelling?
From a young age, I’ve had a deep passion for photography and the world of fashion. I was always captivated by modeling competitions on television and loved watching fashionrelated programs. That fascination quickly grew into ambition. At the age of 12, I experienced my very first photoshoot. A moment that truly awakened something in me. From that point on, my journey in front of the camera never stopped, and my love for modeling has only grown stronger over the years.
What do you think of the work as a model?
It gives me a sense of confidence and freedom. During a shoot, I allow myself to fully express my emotions and let everything go.
What is your beauty regimen?
Getting enough sleep, eating healthy, and drinking plenty of water are essential. I believe in taking good care of myself. During the week, I avoid wearing too much makeup to give my skin time to breathe, and I follow a proper skincare routine to keep it healthy and glowing.
What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others?
I believe that my strongest assets are my poses, facial expressions, and gaze.
What are your plans for the future?
I am currently undertaking studies to become a youth worker/caregiver, while simultaneously pursuing modeling on a part-time basis. My goal is to continue developing my skills and to expand my professional network within the photography and fashion industries.
What are some of your favorite experiences so far?
I must say that each of my experiences has been unique in its own way. Most importantly, I’m deeply grateful for the amazing people I’ve had the opportunity to meet and for all that I have accomplished throughout the years.
Do you have any advice for those who want to start modelling?
Always stay true to yourself and embrace your unique qualities, because ultimately, you are one of a kind. Never compromise on your values or do anything that doesn’t feel right. Surround yourself with people who support and uplift you, and be mindful of those you choose to collaborate with.
What do you think of the magazine?
I think the magazine is a wonderful platform for both models and photographers. It creates a space where creativity, talent, and professionalism can truly shine. By showcasing their work, it not only highlights the skill and artistry behind each shoot but also helps to build strong connections within the industry. It’s inspiring to see how it brings together a diverse community of creatives and supports their growth.

“Maternity photography is not just about pictures, it’s about preserving a unique period in a woman’s life”
I am Marina Litvinova, a studio photographer specializing in maternity and women’s portrait photography, working in Ukraine and across Europe. My journey in photography began back in my youth when I first picked up a camera. I was always drawn to emotions and moments that could be captured through photography. One day, a woman asked me to do a maternity photoshoot for her. That experience turned out to be so touching and inspiring that I decided to dedicate my career to this field.
Maternity photography is not just about pictures — it’s about preserving a unique period in a woman’s life. Pregnancy is a time of anticipation and joy before a new chapter begins. For me, it’s important to capture not only the external changes but also the inner emotions of an expectant mother. This special state of being is something I strive to reflect in my images, so that later a family can return to these moments and relive them again.
A few tips for future moms preparing for a photoshoot
First of all, it’s important to choose the right time for a maternity session. Usually, this is between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, when the belly is beautifully rounded but the mother-to-be still feels comfortable. Secondly, it’s worth discussing the style and concept of the shoot with your photographer in advance. Prepare outfits that highlight your bump and complement the chosen look. And most importantly – relax and enjoy the process. Natural emotions and genuine smiles always make photos truly special.
What inspires me I am inspired by women themselves and their stories.
Every pregnancy is unique, and each woman brings something special to the session. I love seeing how moods change, how light appears in their eyes when they talk about their future children. It’s incredibly moving and fills my work with meaning.
I plan to keep growing in this field, creating new projects, and possibly organizing training for other photographers. I also want to travel more and photograph expectant mothers in different parts of the world, to show the beauty of this period across cultures and traditions.

Can you tell us a little about you?
I am a female photographer born in 1976 living in a small oasis of nature (Engesvang) in Denmark. My background as a graphic designer, visuals have always been a big part of me as a child I drew a lot. The creative side is expressed in my photos in all kinds of colours and emotional messages that create a unique memory, behind the soul, a timeless and lasting photo. I moved into the world of photography by accident. (after 2 serious accidents) Here, photography gave me joy in life, uniting the present with the future suddenly meant something to me.
How and when did you get into photography?
It all started in 2014 - with my 1st canon et 550D kit, the years went by with a lot of on//off yes mostly off.
I started photographing my daughter with her horse, since I grew up on horseback, there were quite a few projects in the horse world with great success. My son drove go-karts, later road racing, where I photographed and made articles for the DMU sports magazine. My youngest girl danced ballet which was a very moving world to share my photography skills in, all this has awakened my great interest in photography, educational journey especially since I knew nothing about camera and settings, it was purely learn by doing and not without challenges. Since then I've done some portraits on location or a small corner in my apartment and some weddings.
What does photography mean to you?
Everyone is photogenic, in my eyes, all you need is the right photographer who can see light, shadows, pose and coach, his model to show shine through.
I feel great joy every time my finished photo is received by the model to see their reaction to the results.
My models are completely normal people I have met by chance on the street or in my network through family and friends.
I have learned that everyone can be a model even if they don't think so. Everyone has a mirror to a unique story something to embrace. It has now become my drive, the art of creating what I see and feel during a shoot.
Where do you get inspiration from?
Everything I see during the day from street experiences to nature, a film, a person, an advertisement, a magazine social media or just a simple conversation can create a creative idea. Well I have to photograph a person or task so I'm curious who is this person the story is how most ideas arise. Everyone can learn but not everyone can master it... However, the way can be shown...for me it was the people who have made an impression on me during the photography period:
SeanArcher - Sue Bryce - Tine.Eisen - Lara Jade - Peter Lindberg - John Gres - Joakim Karlsen.
As I developed, I discovered that what I saw as difficult, the games became easy.
Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.
My style has been a big messy mix, I've tried most of them and learned a lot from all styles. It has not only helped me find what I enjoy most, also to be kreativ and teknik.
Studio, on location or both?
I have got my own photo studio here in 2025, so from now on it will only be studio photography. style will probably be a mix of fashion, fine art.
Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid prof?
Just a self-taught photographer with passion in what I do, and retouching I have made many graphic photos over time, combining photos and elements long before AI came along.
What has been your most memorable session and why?
My unforgettable moment that still for me to embrace portraiture, is a woman who said to me:
“All her life she envied other women for their beauty. The way they carried it, she felt ashamed of herself. She now saw that woman in her own portrait photo and was ashamed of her thoughts.”
I could recognize THOSE thoughts myself, that's why I want every woman to be able to feel like that at least once in her life, and wear it with pride for the rest of her life. We go to the hairdresser, but it only lasts a few weeks, while a photoshoot change lasts a lifetime.
Do you think in advance what you want in the picture? Yes, I always prepare for a shoot.
Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?
I still use canon, however Canon 5dmark IV, however my lenses have become Sigma As they are a class cheaper, but still prefer canon lenses. However, I find the sigma 50mm Dg art is far better to work with than canons. My sigma 85 art is my favorite win however it is very heavy. Uses tripod with rotating head so it's ok. My studio light is godox - I found this to be the most economical, easy to work with light, versatile and delicious light, enough power for even a dance shoot.
What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business? Find that glow there to spark your inner photographer. Hold on to it and let it grow in your photos, remember it's not just a photo but what you want your traces In the future the survivors tell. Find that glow there for your inner photographer to sprout. Be not afraid to just do something and learn from it.
What do you think of our new magazine?
I thought that Modelland is a sustainable magazine to publish a budding story from all over the world that benefits others, for motivation and development.
https://www.instagram.com/zimply_photo https://www.zimplyphoto.dk/
Can you tell us a little about you?
I am an international photographer, educator, and co-owner of studios in London. Photography has been my world for more than 16 years. Over this time I’ve created not only images, but also communities — running a photo school, organizing workshops across Europe, and mentoring photographers from all over the globe. My biggest passion is not only to shoot, but to share knowledge and inspire others.
How and when did you get into photography?
I began around the age of 20, and once I stepped into photography, I never stepped out. It became my profession and my way of life. For the past 8 years, teaching has also been a huge part of what I do — it’s beautiful to watch people grow through photography.
What does photography mean to you?
For me, photography is much more than a career. It’s my passion, my daily rhythm, and the language I use to speak with the world. Without it, I simply couldn’t live the same life.
Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.
My style is about confidence and beauty. I want my images to empower people, to show them how strong, elegant, and unique they are. Light plays a central role I love structured, cinematic light that makes every detail part of the story.
Where do you get inspiration from?
My inspiration comes from cinematography, instrumental music, traveling, and exploring different cultures. But above all, I am inspired by the people I love — those who support me and those who become my muses.
Do you think in advance what you want in the picture?
Yes, absolutely. I love to plan: mood boards, lighting setups, concepts. But I always leave room for those magical, spontaneous moments. They often become the most powerful images.
Studio, on location or both?
Both, but my heart belongs to the studio. I adore working with artificial light — it’s more complex, but it gives me full creative control and endless possibilities.
Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?
A paid professional. Photography has been my full-time profession for many years, but it still feels like the greatest passion of my life.
What has been your most memorable session and why?
It’s hard to choose just one. My very first workshops remain unforgettable — I was nervous, excited, and full of dreams. Later, big international workshops in cities like Paris, Milan, and London became milestones. Each one carries its own story and emotions.
Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?
I’ve been faithful to Nikon throughout my entire career. My favorite lens is the 85mm — it’s timeless for portraits, offering sharpness and beautiful depth.
What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business? Photography is not just about taking pictures — it’s about building a brand, a lifestyle, and a business. If you want results, be ready to dedicate yourself fully. Work hard, be consistent, and never stop learning. Passion is the start, but persistence makes it real.
What do you think of our new magazine?
I think it’s an amazing idea — a fresh platform that can unite photographers, give them visibility, and inspire creativity. It’s always exciting to see new spaces that celebrate the art of photography.

Can you tell us a little about you?
I’m a professional photographer specializing in women and maternity photography in Brussels, Belgium. Through my lens, I capture the remarkable transformation of women as they embrace their roles as women, mothers, and individuals.
How and when did you get into photography?
My journey into the world of photography kicked off while I was studying computer security and cryptography at university. It turns out deciphering codes wasn’t as colourful as capturing the world through a lens. In that moment, I had completely given my heart to photography.
What does photography mean to you?
Photography for me is not just a job or profession; it’s my calling that fills my life with meaning. I carefully work through each stage of the shooting process.
I enjoy the set design process, I love to incorporate floral elements, and sometimes I even personally craft outfits for the shoots.
All of this, combined with my unique artistic vision developed through various forms of art, makes my work special.
Please briefly describe your photography style. My style can be described as fine art portraiture with a focus on femininity and emotional depth.
I love combining natural light, soft tones, and a cinematic atmosphere to capture women's beauty and strength in all their states.
Where do you get inspiration from?
My work is inspired by people, the art of painting, distinctive places, and the cinematic world.
Do you think in advance what you want in the picture?
Yes, I always know what I want to see in the picture. For me, the most important thing is to show the atmosphere, the mood, and the character of the person I'm capturing.
Studio, on location or both?
I really love natural light - it often helps me create the right atmosphere.
But after moving to Brussels, studio shooting has often become a necessity due to the frequent cloudy weather and lack of natural light.
Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional? I don't really separate them - my favorite hobby is my favorite profession.
What has been your most memorable session and why? Every session is special for me. Each shoot brings new emotions and teaches me something new.
Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?
I love working with Canon. Its color rendering and smooth tones feel truly magical. My favorite lens is the Canon 70-200mm.
What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business?
After more than. 10 years in photography, I've realized that equipment isn't what matters most. It's the ideas and vision we carry inside that really count - everything else is just the instruments to bring them to life.
What do you think of our new magazine?
I think your new magazine is fantastic. It feels fresh and inspiring, and I love the way it presents ideas and creativity. It really stands out and has a unique voice.

by Javier Ventoso
The first hairdressing collection created by Javier Ventoso with artificial intelligence is called Essens.IA.Ls. It is a project that combines creativity, diversity, and technology with a clear objective: to showcase the essentials of hairdressing from a contemporary, inclusive, and label-free perspective.
The collection is composed of eight images: four masculine and four feminine, conceived to work as a joint proposal or as independent pieces with their own identity. From the very beginning, Ventoso sought for each look to reflect the plurality of today’s world: different ethnicities, skin tones, and hair textures. Diversity is not an accessory detail, but rather the central axis running through the entire
The inspiration came from observing current trends in hairdressing and urban fashion, blending them with timeless finishes that convey elegance and naturalness. The cuts and hairstyles are designed for everyday wear, yet carry a forward-looking, avant-garde touch. Colors, volumes, and shine combine to offer a realistic, commercial, and at the same time innovative proposal.
As for the styling, Ventoso chose a minimalist path. White was the predominant color in the clothing, precisely to highlight the models’ skin and hair The neutrality of the garments allows the hairstyles to become the true protagonists, while white conveys cleanliness, purity, and freshness—values the creator wanted to associate with this first foray into artificial intelligence.
The name Essens.IA.Ls summarizes the philosophy of the project. It is born from a hybrid between “Essentials” and the acronym “IA” (inteligencia artificial / artificial intelligence). The result is a unisex, neutral, and contemporary concept that reflects the essence of a collection embracing both masculine and feminine with equal importance. Essens.IA.Ls also symbolizes how technology can integrate into the art of hairdressing without displacing the human element but rather enhancing its possibilities.
With this proposal, Javier Ventoso conveys a clear message: the essential never changes. Hairdressing remains an art tied to the authenticity of people, and although tools evolve, the essence remains in the hands of the creator. Artificial intelligence, in this case, does not replace but amplifies the capacity to imagine and experiment.
How did you feel when introducing yourself to the world of artificial intelligence applied to hairdressing? I felt like an explorer in a new territory At first, I experienced a mix of curiosity and respect, because it was a tool I didn’t master. Over time, I discovered that artificial intelligence doesn’t seek to replace us but to become a creative companion. For me, it has been like opening a window and letting more light into my process.
What has been the most challenging part of this creative process with AI?
The hardest part was maintaining the balance between the technological and the human. I wanted the images to be innovative without losing the warmth and naturalness that have always characterized my vision of hairdres-sing. The real challenge was achieving that artificial intelligence adapted to my ideas, and not the other way around.
What message do you want to convey with Essens.IA.Ls?
I want to remind people that what is essential always remains: beauty lies in diversity, authenticity, and personal confidence. Artificial intelligence provides new tools, but the soul of the work is still human. Essens.IA.Ls is, for me, an invitation to look forward without forgetting our roots.

Can you tell us a little about you?
I’m Yugoslavian born multi artist. Musician, painter, designer, film maker and photographer I played on the stage professionally with different bands for many years, have two CDs, one in Switzerland and the other one in Italy I’m in photography from 2014 and I’m based in Norway.
How and when did you get into photography?
As a musician I didn’t have much free time so I was shooting landscapes as a hobby photographer. Short story – I get thousands of followers on FB, get a call from a magazine for an interview, they put me on a front page, people start calling and suddenly I was in wedding photography, family, children, parties, sports… And fashion, of course.
What does photography mean to you?
For me the photography is the way to explore. To get inspired. And a lot of joy.
Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.
I’m doing fashion, boudoir, model photography and I’m trying to have it my way Connecting sport and beauty Health and fashion. Finding something different. My photography is not ‘’natural’’ because I’m not a journalist.
Studio, on location or both?
Both, absolutely. I’m very happy with my studio and there is a bunch of beautiful locations around my place.
Where do you get inspiration from?
I’m too stubborn and too lazy to check the other photographers. Even less classical painters. I’m getting inspiration from my models. Every girl is different and every girl is an untold story. My shootings are relaxed and fun. A lot of laugh, improvisations and exploring.
Do you think in advance what you want in the picture?
No, never Every picture is, and as I said every model is, a different and untold story I say ‘’untold’’ because there is a process. Talking, planning, posing - shooting, and editing, so the story develops itself.
Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?
I’m doing both. I’m not ashamed to do free as charge shooting, as long as the model is really special.
What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business? Shoot, shoot and shoot. Don’t think about earning money at the very beggining. And specially don’t think about the most expensive equipment. The best camera is the camera you have right now. Shoot landscapes, architecture, parents, girlfriend – boyfriend, neighbours... Get experience, get popular. Get quality.
What has been your most memorable session and why? I
was shooting in Belgrade, Serbia back in 2017, there was three models and we was walking around the Kalemegdan fortress. And then on one location suddenly came like 50 tourists from China. They was all very loud and started to shoot my models, with both cameras and phones. I was standing on the side laughing, models was posing and the whole situation was very weird and nice at the same time. And since we are here I would like to point on pig-ignorant, extremely stupid Facebook rules about sharing pictures in photo groups. I’m blocked by Facebook very often because I’m sharing my photos along with the models name and my Instagram link, and they call it spam and security breach. Sometimes I wonder if there is any adults running Facebook. But morons definitively.
Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?
Sony. 45mm inside, 85mm outside.

Love it. Quality is there, conception is there. Professional.
(Moldova) (Re-Post 2022)
Can you tell us a little about you? I am an international model from Moldavia and an entreeneur. In my career I have worked with many publications such as Harpers Bazar, Vogue , officiel as well as brands such as Gucci, D&G,Armani, Philip Plein etc. I have done many shooting campaigns and I have worked across Europe, Asia and Middle East ! you could change anything about yourself, what would it be? I think I would not change ything as I accept myself the way I am with all my flaws and downsides. Every stage of life gives you the opportunity to learn something new and be a better person than yesterday.
What do you think of the work as a model? I love it ! It gives you so many opportunities and opens so many door ! From traveling, and being on bilboards and magazine covers, to meeting influential people who you can do bussiness with in the future! I have been modelling or a long time but despite that I am keep the friendhip with people that I met 10 years ago. Many of them are photographers, make-up artists and of course other models that I have worked with in the past and I continue to work with today. Sometime modelling is not easy as you can feel very lonely when you travel far from your family. Also, there are times where you are asked to work long hours in the heat or, on the opposite, in extreme temperature below zero. Nevertheless, if you are passionate about it, it really gives you a lot of strengh to overcome every moment !
How did you start? I started at 16 when I was scouted by designer Valentina Vidrascu. That fortuitous encounter changed my life forever because since then I started to travel the world for fashion shootings and catwalk shows. My first contract was in China and my first fashion show was at the Shanghai fashion week for Lacoste ! I still remember the excitement. I was the only model chosen in my agency to walk for Lacoste ! It was such an honor.
What is your beauty regimen? I try to use less products since I believe less is more . I use a toner and a moisturizer cream in the morning, and in the evening vitamin C serum to nourish my skin and keep it fresh. Every 2 weeks I get a face massage and when I am not lazy I do some face exercises! In July I will launch an app called “Face fitness by Elvira Jain” with a lot of face exercises that are meant to keep your skin toned and healthy. !
What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others? Patience ,perseverance, faith and believe in your yourself that you can achieve anything!
What are your plans for the future? I believe first do it and then say to everyone ! Working on some projects, So I will keep it as surprise !
What are some of your favorite experiences so far?I must say Most of my experiences were nice nice . I really enjoyed doing the fashion show of Philip PLein in qatar , or Dolce& Gabbana in dubai . Gucci definitely is one of my favorite since is a family already as I am working always with them in dubai ! I am always doing their fashion shows ! Dior is another one that was very nice to work with ! I had a cover and editorial shoot with them for an Arabic magazine cover in Dubai and the experience was lovely !
Do you have any advice for those who want to start? Find a mother agency that will belie-ve in your potential since this is the most important as a first step Secondary prepare your-self for a lot of work ,shoots , travels , long hours of preparation for fashion shows or shoots in different weather situations! You need to really be very dedicated and focused if you want to reach the top ! Prepare yourself to listen “no “ You might not won’t be choo-sen at every casting you do and that’s absolutely ok . You need to be strong to listen no as well .
What do you think of modellenland? I love independent publications that value and elevate the creative industry such as this It’s very interesting to see and get inspired by so many beautiful shoots made by so many international photographers. Keep up with the great work!

Can you tell us a little about you?
My name is Nienke Jansz. Born and raised in Zeist, a small town in The Netherlands. I studied music (vocals) in Utrecht and besides that I started mode-ling. Once I graduated I moved to Milan, then Istanbul and then London where I ended up staying. Now, 6 years later I’m a fulltime model with 9 agencies world wide and several sin-gles out with more than 100,000 streams.
If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?
I wouldn’t want to change anything physically even tho ofcourse I have my insecurities. But, sometimes I wish I would be able to stand up for myself more and say no.
How did you start modelling?
I started modeling in 2015 when I was still studying music. I was applying for loads of agencies and got so many rejections until one small agency said yes. I ended up signing with this small agency in The Netherlands and from there it started rolling. They signed me with an agency in Milan soon after Then Istanbul and London follo-wed that same year And I ended up staying in London.
What do you think of the work as a model?
I think it comes with pro’s and con’s like any job. It’s definitely not for the faint hearted. It’s a tough industry and not as glamorous as it’s made out to be. I remember my first agency in Milan told me to loose a couple of centime-ters from my hips before coming to Milan. As I was so excited I did, i was very skinny. But as I was so proud and excited I did it. Then in Milan when I had my first job there was a client on set that said was too big. Luckily I am someone with thick skin so it didn’t effect me much, but I can imagine something like this could really damage a young girl. Since that moment I decided that I didn’t want to do any jobs that required me to be unhealthy or unhappy So I focused more on the commercial side of modeling. I stayed in London because the market in London is more commercial and more fun and easy going. You can be any size or height here and there’s jobs for you. I think it’s important to find an agency that loves you for who you are and that’s the right fit. Then ofcourse the traveling, the people you get to meet, the places you see, the shoots you get to do are all things that you will remember forever.
What is your beauty regimen?
I love to workout. I grew up playing field hockey and ballet so I’ve always been active. Nowadays I train 5 times a week in the gym. I do mostly weight trai-ning mixed with hiit cardio to stay in the best shape I can be. I do not restrict myself food wise, however I try to nourish my body with mostly healthy foods. But if I crave something, I will have it. I think when it comes to skincare less is more. I don’t do much besides serum at night and sunscreen in the morning, and loads of water during the day
What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others?
I think I am very friendly, I always try to make people feel comfortable and make people laugh. On set we always have the best time and I think that’s so important. I am also very hardworking. If I want something, I will do everything to get it. Even if it takes years, I don’t give up easily and that’s what got me where I am today
What are your plans for the future?
I would love to move to the US and work there for a while. My dream is to work with Si Swimsuit. Let’s see where the future takes me.
What are some of your favorite experiences so far?
It’s hard to choose, but I think one of my favorite experien-ces was shooting winter clothes in 40 degrees celsius in Egypt, or shooting swimwear in Cape Town with Penguins in the background! Moments I’ll never forget.
Do you have any advice for those who want to start modelling?
Don’t start too young, make sure that you have a plan B, finish your school or degree first. In this industry you get a lot of rejections, but don’t let them effect you. They’re not personal, you’re just not what they’re looking for. Make sure that modeling is enjoyable for you, and you’re happy and healthy. And don’t give up! It’s easy to give up but the best things come to those who do not.
What do you think of the magazine?
I love it! My first publication in Modellenland was in 2014 I believe. Just be-fore I started modeling! It was an editorial I’ve done with Ivo Schrage. Time for an update I believe.

Can you tell us a little about you?
Well my name is Artemis (Arty) and I’m 22 years old. I like to model, play violin and write books and TV and Movie scripts. I’m a person that always follows their heart and believe that you can make all your dreams come true by believing in yourself I don’t like gossiping about other people or being selfish.
If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?
I would like to be more motivated and more organised and tranquil because I’m a bit chaotic so that costs me a lot of energy and time. I would also like to have more self control because I can be very impulsive. My mood swings very easily due to my borderline personality disorder. I would also like to think and put my self first because due to my empathetic nature, I try to please people before thinking of me.
How did you start modelling?
I have always dreamt of becoming a model ever since I thought that I could actually do it. I’ve been through a lot of bullying in my childhood so I end up feeling that I would never achieve something like this. Growing up in the autism spectrum made me really shy and awkward. Three years ago a friend took me to photo shoot with a photographer Shockingly, the pictures turned out really good. After I posted them a lot of photographers and even agencies showed a lot of interest. At first, I felt really awkward during photo shoots and fashion shows. But after a while, I begun to enjoy myself immensely while modelling and the catwalks. So, off I went into the world of modelling
What do you think of the work as a model?
Personally I think is really great and it has really helped me to build a powerful aura and a strong self esteem. Is something that I really love doing and I think that I am good at it. But modelling has its downsides and can lead to uncomfortable / inappropriate situations sometimes. So you gotta be really careful as well.
What is your beauty regimen?
Uhh…nothing, really. Just red lipstick, concealer and eyeliner. I’m not that healthy girl that eats kiwi, does skin care and sleeps early at night. I’m young and wild.
What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others?
Well let’s start with the fact that I mind my own business. I never gossip or are judgmental. I try to be as honest as I can and I am a trustworthy person. Another thing that distinguish me is that I don’t give a damn about other peoples’ opinions and I always follow my heart. Also I’m a really empathetic person that prioritises other people’s needs.
What are your plans for the future?
I would love to sell my first TV script and become an author I would also love to be a more famous model. Another plan is to go to Masterchef because I have a really strong passion with cooking! To more personal levels…I would also love to be a wife and a mom in the future, but that’s not something I my control, is it?
What are some of your favorite experiences so far?
I have done a wonderful FASHION WEEK catwalk in Athens and I have enjoyed our photoshoots with Stavros in various locations around Athens
Do you have any advice for those who want to start modelling?
If you want to do it then just do it! Don’t let anyone talk you out of it or tell you that you are not model material. You don’t have to be stereotypically “beautiful” because that’s objective. You just have to be unique and have a nice confident aura.
What do you think of the magazine?
A fantastic door into the world of modelling and fashion for the model.

Photography Is Storytelling
• Welcome to my world, where the lens becomes our brush and the canvas is digital. Nude art explores the elegance of the female body, capturing moments that are both provocative and breathtaking. Whether in the intimacy of my studio or a public setting, every moment is experienced with precision and finesse. Photography is more than just capturing an image; it’s revealing a model’s essence. The female form is a vessel of emotion and raw energy. My goal is synchronicity where authenticity thrives. It's about fostering trust and stripping away inhibitions to capture something rare and profound. My workflow is a meticulous balance of preparation, execution, and post-production, with the majority of time invested in refining images without compromising quality When I sign my name to the piece, it has to be my best work. This is my lifelong philosophy. Finding the right models willing to bare their emotions is a rewarding challenge. With each session, I evolve as an artist, adjusting on the fly to the unique energy that every model brings. Over the years, I've developed an artistic style that aligns with my personality. This journey has taken me across borders, capturing images of beautiful models as I continually improve my craft. It's about creating images that evoke deep, visceral emotion, where art and souls intertwine.
Visual Poetry • After years behind the lens, I reflect with gratitude on an extraordinary journey. Dusil Photography was born from a relentless pursuit of beauty, vulnerability, and emotion, transcending borders to capture the presence of the most beautiful women in the world. From scouting to post-production, each step is guided by a simple goal: to evoke a 'wow' moment - that fleeting alignment of emotion that transforms photography into art. At its core, my work is about empathy and strength. Every model I photograph is my most valued asset — her story shapes the soul of each image. Nude art transcends sensuality to become a dialogue between artist and muse. Through disciplined workflow and artistic freedom, I strive to create visual poetry that captures her essence.
• Every model I photograph is my most valued asset. To have been chosen as their photographer and capture their essence fills me with gratitude. It's magical to witness their blossoming courage for a brief moment. My goal is for every model to be so elated by the experience that they can’t wait to return for another session. These testimonials hopefully provide a snapshot of their trust in me. Each photo presented in my portfolio is a gift of love and joy.
Emotions of the Soul • Photography is about moments suspended in time. Fragments of life infused with feelings. The best images are fueled with passion. Emotions that resonate even before the shutter is clicked. Guided by inspired curiosity, my camera and model move with purpose, chasing creativity with every breath. Our ambience is conducted with symphony, transforming life into visual poetry. For us, truth is found in the emotions of the soul.
