Presented on these photos is me, Eugenia Turysheva – a model, founder and head of the PRO-TUR agency. I’m 26 years old, living in a Northen town of Syktyvkar and dedicating my whole life to my work.

I got in a modeling sphere in 2013, when I was 14. I was searching for myself for several years: tried doing sports and art, but one day my mom suggested trying myself in modeling. Initially I couldn’t picture myself as a model: lack of skills was quite unsettling for me at first. Though month after month I kept working hard and improving my abilities. From that moment in my life gradually came more photographers, make-up artists, designers, podiums, fashion shows ant photoshoots. I liked it a lot and always wanted to achieve more.

In 2022 I had a thought of starting my own business, as I always enjoyed not only being a model, but managing photoshoot process, coming up with new ideas and bringing them to life. Being a model Is an interesting thing, but I wanted more responsibility and become a creator myself.

That how was founded the Pro-Tur agency (Project of Turysheva). When I started my business, I haven’t even thought of how big of a scale I’ll achieve. With support of my close ones I step by step move forward to new heights.

At this moment I cooperate with many specialists: photographers, designers, make-up artists, entrepreneurs and publishing houses. I create artistic photoshoots, perform on stage, teach modeling to others and being photographed in different cities: Syktyvkar, Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, Kaliningrad and Sochi.

My photos are being printed in 15 countries, and in my home republic there’s already several articles about my activity, I always getting offered a partnership and last summer I even got awarded with a certificate for visual embodiment of Komi Republic culture.

I take each photoshoot with a special thrill: gather a team, picking a location and thinking through every small detail. Quality preparation is a key to a good result.

I choose only the best specialists for a partnership, knowing for sure all their strongest qualities.

Nature very often helps me in realization of my project. As last summer in my town was quite rainy, I came up with the idea of fooling around outdoors. If you can turn on a child in your head, even a rain can be an occasion for a good mood and happiness. Shots presented in this article were created on one of these rainy days. We were jumping, running and laughing, enjoying our lives. Special trait of this photoshoot is that it came up very natural. Absence of makeup, simpler clothes and lack of static poses.

Usually for each photoshoot I’m coming up with a special mood, look and expression, but this time I only needed to be myself. All the emotions and motions are truly sincere and real. A bit tense shoulders from the cold and breathing through opened mouth because of running a lot.

Absence of makeup for me is accepting my real self. When I was a teenager, I couldn’t step out without cosmetics, I always wanted to Improve something in my looks, emphasize or hide. But after years of working in modeling sphere, constantly seeing myself on pictures I started to realize that I don’t need makeup to like myself. The main thing is an internal feeling of self. Beauty of every person is coming from inside.
