Anna's Interview for MODELCOMUTITY.NET

WHAT DOES ANNA THINK ABOUT MODELLING JOB IN TOKYO?

The job of a model is obviously to be a chameleon and to have the ability to change all the time. You must transform from one image into another several times per day(!!!)  and feel it from inside. It should become a part of you. You’re expected to be able to change from elegant to grunge, from innocent to seductive. When I work in Tokyo, Moscow or Kiev, with foreign photographers, in my own country, even with my friends, I do feel that there is no real difference; nothing really changes, except me.
Couple days ago, I did a very exciting job for John Watkins GDG Japan, which was oh so transformative. The theme of the shoot was dolly-style, inspired by today’s Lolita style.
 I hold the neon-colorful look inspired by Harajuky Fashionable Girls. It was one of those shoots where I really got into character.
 Usually I’m so used to maintaining a consistent mood or feeling for an editorial. Working with Watkin is different because I am required to evoke so many different mannerisms. 
The first Dolly-PARTY style look required more femininity than the harder, somewhat sullen Black-Red-ROCK look. I had a very hard strong make-up for eyes and chicks. 
 The funniest part of the day had to be walking home. Not every day do you see a girl walking through Tokyo with a way-more-than-necessary amount of MAKE-UP.
