Hello Teya Salat! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview. Please start by telling us something about yourself, how you got into modeling? I got my first experience in modeling when I was in school. Back then I took pictures using a simple cell phone. Then I moved to a big city I did my first professional photoshoot. That was the big start and it happened even before I got my first tattoo. Apart from modeling I also work in the field of advertising In Russia, I am also working on my tour in America.

Q: You look gorgeous! Tell me about your style, do you feel inspired by someone?
A: Thank you! I don’t have a role model. My style has formed by itself and I didn’t have any thoughts about how I would finally look like. I still don’t know how I am going to look like in a couple of months :))

Q: The neck tattoo is awesome! What was the inspiration?
A: Intuition and imagination. This is a freehand piece we've did together with my tattoo artist.

Q: You're now working for many famous clothing brands like "Sullen Clothing" & "Rebounce girls". Tell me more.
A: My collaboration with these brands started around 2-3 years ago. I'm always open to work with new brands, either new or already well-known in the market.

Q: The most interesting experiences during a photoshoot?
A: It’s hard to say. The most interesting photoshoots are the ones when I go to work in another country with my poor knowledge of English:)

Q: Do you have any favorite?
A: My recent photoshoots. 

Q: How people react when they see you for the first time?
A: People react differently! There are positive reactions when people want to touch my tattoos, or to take a picture with me, and there can be some absolutely negative reactions. In Russia we are starting to see tattooing as an art.

Q: What's the best part of being a model?
A: I try to promote a healthy lifestyle, good family relations and personal development, as well as the fact that a person should be judged by his or her deeds, not by the appearance.

Q: How would you describe your personality in a few words Teya?
Q: Words about my personality? I am sincere, honest and kind.

Q: Any hair or make up tricks that you have?
A: Professionals take care of it and that’s all I can say about this.

Q: Any new projects you're working on?
A: I’m working on myself and plan a tour to other countries.

Q: You're 22 now, so young and beautiful, you have a long way to go. What would be the "dream" project?
A: I have already made my dreams come true, so now I just work, live and rejoice with my family.

Q: Any tips for the girls who are starting out?
A: Do not look at anyone else and just keep going forward.
