Taya Vais Bio
Taya Vais is a Russian Glamour, fashion, and nude model. She was born on June 24, 1984, in Saint Petersburg, Russia. She appeared in an international edition of Playboy in March 2018 at 33. Her appearance came during Playboy's contemporary era of international and digital publishing.
Vais has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 32-26-35.
Taya Vais had already established herself in European fashion and editorial modeling before expanding into artistic nude photography. Comfortable moving between different styles of image-making, she approached the latter as another creative branch of her profession rather than a departure from her earlier work. That experimentation eventually brought her to Playboy.
Her first Playboy Plus shoot came in March 2018, when the magazine introduced Vais to its international audience as an experienced model with a strong work ethic and an increasingly diverse portfolio. By then, she had also worked with Hegre Art, adding fine-art nude photography to the fashion and editorial assignments that had formed the foundation of her career.
Creativity was not confined to modeling. Vais enjoyed drawing, sculpting, sewing and photography, interests that placed her on both sides of the creative process. Her enthusiasm for photography in particular complemented a career spent collaborating with photographers, while her interest in making things by hand suggested an artistic life extending well beyond posing for the camera.
Away from work, Vais preferred spending time with friends and being outdoors. Horseback riding was another favorite activity, and she had a particular affection for the ocean and being in the water. She also devoted some of her time to charity work, adding a more personal dimension to a life otherwise closely associated with fashion, travel and photography.
Playboy arrived at a point when Vais was deliberately exploring new territory within an established modeling career. Her March 2018 feature brought together the fashion experience she had already accumulated and her growing interest in artistic nude work, while her pursuits away from the studio revealed an equally strong creative streak. For Vais, modeling was one part of a wider interest in art—alongside photography, drawing, sculpture and design.
