Originally from St. Petersburg, Russia, Anna Zotova was scouted by a family connection. Upon seeing Anna at a dinner, the head of a modeling school told Ms. Zotova's mother that they simply had "no choice" in her becoming a model. Her looks were undeniably stunning and she did her first major modeling job at the young age of 14 in Tokyo, Japan.

According to Anna Zotova, modeling guarantees an addiction to traveling, with unique opportunities to see the world. Based on her love of fine art and museums, she gained the nickname "museum maniac" after spending eight hours at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Beyond art exhibitions, Bikram yoga helps her not only train her body, but meditate anywhere she ends up, especially after a long transatlantic flight. She is also passionate about scuba diving in the Red Sea, based on the silence, peace, and beauty of being surrounded by rainbow fish on all sides.

Though modeling has been her full-time job and passion, Anna Zotova found the time to complete her university education, studying law at the Russian Customs Academy, working as a customs officer for half a year and achieving a military rank as lieutenant of Customs Authorities of Russia. Her recent Dolce & Gabbana photoshoot is among her latest and most impressive campaigns.
