Diana Havrylyuk

BY DAVID TUPAZ

Top model Diana Havrylyuk was born in the Ukraine. As a child, she didn’t like to be photographed or draw attention her way. One day her mother said that she wanted her to attend modeling school. “When I got there, I did not feel very beautiful among other beautiful models, but photographers began to notice me and I went to all the castings. It was there that I met my best friend (a photographer) who later taught me how to pose. And I began to love modeling.

I feel at my best when I pose, and when the photographer says that he likes my work, I begin to work harder and better. Modeling had allowed me to open up in a new way, to love myself and understand that beauty is not the main thing—it’s what you feel inside and the kind of energy you give others through a photo.”
