<strong>NUDE</strong>: Give us a little background on yourself and where you<br />

grew up.<br />

Jane: I was born and raised in Russia in Ekaterinburg city. I<br />

studied to be a Fashion Designer, worked for a while as a designer<br />

in China, and then started to work as a leading stylist in a<br />

company that was dealing with stock photo - it takes third place<br />

for best sales in the world. For the last four years, I’ve worked as a<br />

Fashion Director at Stolnick <strong>Magazine</strong>. I create ideas, do<br />

production and styling, but I also do side projects beyond the<br />

magazine. About a month ago, I decided to try out photography -<br />

these photos are my first shoot.<br />

<strong>NUDE</strong>: What do you feel you can accomplish through<br />

photography?<br />

Jane: By shooting, I try to express my vision, the way my eyes<br />

watch the world. Colors, tints, forms, textures, poses and<br />

composition – we all see these things diferently, even watching<br />

the same picture. This why styling doesn’t bring satisfaction all<br />

the time. A photographer interprets stylist’s ideas diferently. The<br />

camera lens is the last instance, and now it’s in my hands.<br />

<strong>NUDE</strong>: What would you do if you knew you could never fail?<br />

Jane: That’s already the way I live. Innate courage allows me not<br />

to think about failure, and not to look down, like a gymnast<br />

walking on the tightrope.<br />

<strong>NUDE</strong>: If you were not in the photography scene, what would you<br />

be doing right now?<br />
