Interview: Cover Girl Anastasia Siniza (Vietnam)

Can you tell us a little about you?

My name is Anastasia, I just turned 26. I was born in Uzbekistan and spent my childhood in Russia, and now I have been living in Vietnam for 3 years. I consider myself to be experienced in various fields, for instance , I am a certified Scuba Dive Master and Sommelier, but now I work as a freelance model. I engage in commercial photoshoots, advertisings and other projects.

If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?

I would have definitely tried therapy earlier. Since it helps to better understand your true desires, feelings and significantly improves the quality of life.

How did you start modelling?

I often heard that I meet all the requirements to try my hand at modeling. But I wasn’t brave enough . A year ago, I finally realized that I only live once and this field seems to be really interesting , so I decided that it would be a loss to miss such an opportunity. I started looking for different modeling agencies and agents on Facebook, tried myself in some castings. In less than 2 weeks I had my first professional photoshoot.

What do you think of the work as a model?

I take every new project with responsibility and love. I’m really into what I’m doing and I try my best to do it as good as I can. Modeling gives me an everyday opportunity to try myself in new images and roles, meet interesting and creative people, as well as attend cool events and unusual places. However, sometimes my work is physically hard.

What is your beauty regimen?

In addition to basic skin care, such as: cleansing, moisturizing, toning and nourishing. I have a couple of life hacks: daily sunscreen (and yes, I don’t sunbathe), vitamins and pure drinking water at least 2 liters per day. I also visit a cosmetologist every couple of months for deep skin cleansing and care.

What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others?

Courage, curiosity (I like to unlock new skills and knowledges), kindness. As I think due to these qualities my life is brighter and more fulfilling than it could be without them.

What are your plans for the future?

I do not make specific plans for the future, I try to play it by ear. However, I have a certain reference point which I aspire. By the age of 35 I want to build a career, create a family and have an Italian Gray Hound (that's my little dream).

What are some of your favorite experiences so far?

I’m crazy about creative projects and big events like Fashion Week. For me, this is an opportunity to try something completely new and unusual.

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

Don't be afraid and don't give up. If you want to try your hand at modeling - try it and remember that failures are absolutely normal. In the end, there will be a customer who wants to see you and no one else as the face of their product!

What do you think of the magazine?

Apart from the aesthetics of the photographs, I really like the individual approach to people presented by the magazine in each edition . I love reading interviews with models and photographers. I'm really interested in the experiences and personalities of my colleagues in the industry. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to Peter for the opportunity to be a part of this release!
