Lyanka Gryu was born in Moscow, Russia. Her experience in TV and cinema has been truly unique from the very start: she has been working as an actress since the age of 4 when she landed her first lead in the award-winning European film Odin.

Hearing about my photography via Facebook, Lyanka contacted me to arrange a headshot session at the West Hollywood Photography Studio. I was very excited to meet Lyanka, having been an admirer of her work for quite some time.
