Childhood and youth

Astafieva Daria was born in Ordzhonikidze (Ukraine) in 1985. The father of the future model was a railway worker, and his mother worked in a hothouse factory. At school, Dasha was a "ugly duckling". Classmates constantly scoffed at her because of an allergic rash on her face and lean complexion. Also, Astafieva was not an exemplary student: in her certificate there are several triples in the exact sciences. As the girl herself says: "Teachers did not particularly like me, and I always received" bad things "from behavior." After school, the future model entered the school of culture at the directing faculty. And this choice was made by the girl herself.

Singer

Daria Astafieva, whose filmography has so far a few paintings, was trained in the director's department. There they also taught vocal. I liked Dasha's lessons very much, so she decided to study with the teacher individually. In Kiev, the girl met Yuri Nikitin - the producer of the Ukrainian "Star Factory" in 2007 and received an invitation from him. Astafieva did not win prizes, but later became very popular due to participation in the project NikitA. In March 2009 the debut album of the team "Machine" was released.

Model

After the contest, the girl went to the photo studio to make a portfolio. When the main pictures were ready, the photographer offered to try Daria to appear naked. She was not at all embarrassed and agreed. According to the beauty, she did not have ideal female forms then: "I had a sports figure and a small chest. And then I bloomed, and literally "pulled" myself a figure ... "

Astafieva never paid money to photographers. The calculation scheme was as follows: time for the material. From 16 to 20 years, the young model was shot almost every day. And one day her photos came to a famous photographer who was looking for a double Betty Page - American model of the 1950s. For the girl this was the first serious photo shoot.

Cooperation with Playboy
