Inessa Rodina is our new cover model, and she was a real surprise. When we first saw her portfolio at her model agency in Milano – Major Model Management – we could not imagine how nice and polite she would be. But after shooting a half day with her, we would not let her go

Watch the video, and the interview with Inessa Rodina Inessa comes from Russia, from the most remote place in the world (this is what they used to teach me at school) Vladivostok. She is now living and working in Milano, Italy, where we shot the pictures and video you can see here below.
