World Class Bikini Models Magazine: Please tell us about yourself.
My name is Leyla, I am from Kazan city in Russia. I’m an interior designer by trade. By creating interior designs it inspires me and makes me happy. I am also an experienced fashion model, this enables me to have more creativity and fun with my life.
World Class Bikini Models Magazine: Please tell us about your modeling experience.
I have been working as a model for over 17 years. During this time I have done many photoshoots and fashion shows for local and international designers. I have also done covers for local magazines such as ‘’COURAGE’’ and ‘’FIRST KEY’’. I have received awards for the following three international pageants: Mrs Planet 2017, Mrs Millennium Universe 2019 and Ms World International 2019. Including being featured in runway shows.
World Class Bikini Models Magazine: Bikini modeling is often done very early in the morning to catch that perfect lighting, are you a morning person and if not what is your strategy for 6am shoots where you have to already have your hair and makeup done?
Actually I am not a morning person at all. If I need to wake up for an earlier morning shoot I will prepare my wardrobe the evening before the shoot and I will set my alarm leaving myself with enough time to do my hair and makeup prior to my arrival for the shoot. Shooting is my passion and for this reason I am willing to wake up very early.
World Class Bikini Models Magazine: Tell us about your first big break into modeling, what was the first modeling job you did and how were you discovered?
My first big break into modeling was at young age. I was selected to do a photoshoot for a very large oil company and was also offered compensation. I was discovered at an audition I attended and selected over many other models. At the time I could not believe that this was real. However today these are the most memorable and most cherished moments for me.
World Class Bikini Models Magazine: For the image to come out perfect you have to really connect with the photographer to get the pose captured just right with the lighting and angle and mood of the shoot. How do you typically connect with a photographer you just met on set?
I usually find it easy to connect with people. Especially with creative photographers. Within the first five minutes we already know what needs to be done to create the perfect poses for the appropriate shots. Sometimes it takes a little more time to connect, but the end result is that we as a team are very satisfied with the outcome of the shoot.
World Class Bikini Models Magazine: There are so many iconic bikini poses that create this image captured in time that stand out and are widely known even by people not connected to the modeling world, what is your favorite iconic bikini pose and why?
My iconic bikini pose is to shift the weight of my body onto one leg, and turn 45° degrees into the camera, placing my hands on my waist and smiling. Actually this pose sounds very basic however the shots always come perfect.
World Class Bikini Models Magazine: Do you have agency or do you freelance?
I have and do work with multiple agencies. I freelance as well. I never turn down good opportunities. Especially opportunities that make me very happy and also provide income at the same time.
World Class Bikini Models Magazine: Which designers did you have a chance to model for?
I have done modeling for many international designers , The most recent designers were the ones at these fashion shows, Mike Sylla, Malcolm Staples, Alvertis Alve’ Alexander, Prashant Goyal , Janai Wray and Sebastien Syssau . The designer Sebastien surprised all of us models when he appeared after the show and gifted us all of the outfits we displayed for the event . All of the girls were extremely excited and very happy.
World Class Bikini Models Magazine: Have you modeled in any fashion shows?
I have participated in numerous fashion shows throughout my life. These were fashion shows within my country of residence and abroad. This includes doing fashion shows in The USA, Malaysia, Georgia, Bulgaria, and most recently and most memorable The New York Fashion Week. Within a few days I modeled three fashion shows and displayed the collections for six different fashion designers. It was the best modeling experience of my life. I was very excited and happy that life had given me such an amazing opportunity it was like receiving a gem as a gift.
World Class Bikini Models Magazine: Certain colors look good on certain people based on a variety of factors, what colors look best on you and which one is your favorite to model in?
Bright Red is my favorite color to model in. However I am comfortable wearing all colors. Bright colors look even more spectacular as it really compliments my Hazel Exotic looking eyes, My Silky smooth Tanned skin, Curvy body and Beautiful smile.
World Class Bikini Models Magazine: When you are considering taking a modeling job what factors come into play. Do you have a list of items that are deal breakers, or a list of items that seal the deal for you? Tell us about your ideal modeling job and what that looks like.
There are factors that I do take into consideration. For example I don’t do nude shoots or adult content. The ideal shooting for me is a talented photographer, makeup artist, hairdresser, clothing stylist, and a nice place to shoot, ideal weather helps and puts me in a great mood.
World Class Bikini Models Magazine: What would you consider your biggest achievement as a model so far?
