Sophia Lauren and Avery by David Merenyi

Meet Avery, a talented model, teacher, and artist coming to us from Russia. We first caught sight of Avery through her photographer, David Merenyi, and knew she’d be a great fit. Kind, adventurous, and creative are just a few ways we’d describe her. “Everything I want to say I am showing,” she says of how she communicates through her work on camera. “How do I feel about posing nude? I feel pleasure!” You can usually find Avery moving her body when she’s not working as a model, English teacher, or a tattoo artist. “In my spare time, I like doing yoga and dancing,” she says.

Self-described as a wild spirit, Sophia Lauren is fiercely independent. “I am from Sardinia, Italy, and I left my country when I was 15 years old,” she tells us. “I’ve lived alone since 2016, and I just got my diploma as a social worker.” Modeling internationally for two years now, Sophia has been featured in Playboy around the world.
