Our models come to us in many ways but none more unusual than En. In Germany to be married, she had second thoughts and – free spirit that she is – took off for Barcelona to pose for us.

Perhaps it was because, in her own words, “The camera is in love with me”. The feeling is mutual. She loves posing and it turns her on.

En is originally from Moscow. She is a child of the new Russia with the traditional love of dance and ballet and also the new internationalism of American Apparel clothes. She is creative in her own right and her startling paintings are as erotic and vivid as she is.

They flow from her passionate nature. The girlish pink which is her favourite colour is a thin disguise for the red heat of her inner sexual intensity. “My pussy is an instrument of pleasure” she proclaims. Her fetishes and delights are there to be shared.
