Soft Supine Shoots

Rony Soltzman Photographs Yana Vasilyeva Romantically Lounging About

As I look through Yana Vasilyeva's recent photoshoot, I know exactly why this stunning model is considered a rising star in the industry. Aside from her obvious beauty, she has a girl next door quality that makes her accessible, enviable and desirable. She also has an almost ethereal presence that also elevates her from the 'average' category into the 'extraordinary' category.

Photographed by Rony Soltzman, the Yana Vasilyeva photo series is a divergence from his normally gritty and dark captures. This time he has focused on a softer, more romantic shoot that is still candid and even raw.

Beautiful in its simplicity, I love that the Yana Vasilyeva photo series was shot in black and white with the occasional color shot.
