Can you tell us a little about you?

My name is Elena. I was born in Russia. Since I was 17 years old I became financially independent. Moved apart from my parents I began to study chemistry. Meanwhile i was working as a project and product manager, events executive, doing modeling and photography. After finishing my degree in Moscow I moved to France and during my first year I was living in Toulouse, in the south of the country and was studying over there. Then I realized that the fashion industry was always my passion and my decision to move to Paris didn’t take a long time. Paris gave me the opportunity to work as a sales representative in a German medical company. They gave me the occasion to travel with them all over the world and participate in the largest international exhibitions and forums. However I was always keeping myself busy with modeling and photography. When I got the chance to have a new experience I moved to Middle East without any doubts. And now here I am!

it’s huge esthetic satisfaction to be part of a super professional team, to have opportunities to exchange experience and improve my skills.

Do you have any advice for those who want to start modeling?

Always read about the company before going to the casting. My first big casting finished unsuccessfully, when on the video interview for the question “Do you like coffee?” I said “Oh, i dont drink coffee, I hate it”. Imagine, it was a casting for Nescafe.

And of course believe in yourself, that you are the one who deserves this job. If you won’t believe in that, no one will choose you. Your passion and attitude are essential keys of your success.
