Anastasia Mitina
The Luckiest Charm
Introducing Anastasia Mitina, the dazzling dynamo from Donetsk, Ukraine, now living in sunny Tenerife. With eyes as blue as the sky and a smile that could brighten the darkest day, she’s a perfect 10 in every way.
“My journey into modeling began unexpectedly. I posted a review for a swimsuit brand and ended up with a collaboration offer. It was a happy accident,” she shares.
Her zest for life extends to her work, where she finds liberation and excitement in posing nude. “Posing nude makes me feel incredibly free, and sometimes, it even turns me on,” she admits.
When she’s not in front of the camera, Anastasia embraces an active lifestyle, from catching waves on her surfboard to scaling mountains and hitting the gym. “Sunsets by the sea and cozy movie nights with my favorite classics are my little slices of heaven,” she adds.
Anastasia’s quirks are as endearing as they are amusing. “When I brush my teeth or wash dishes, I stand on one leg like a stork. And after meals, I always have to eat something sweet,” she confesses.
In this photoshoot, captured by photographer Ana Dias for the cover of the September 2024 issue of Playboy Netherlands, Anastasia brings her A-game to the cozy vibe of a wooden cabin. Watch her as she dives into a bowl of Lucky Charms with the enthusiasm of a kid on Saturday morning, all while trying to solve a Playboy puzzle—because who knew “model life” involved marshmallows and brain teasers? Adding a touch of retro cool, Anastasia also poses with a yellow Simca 1100, perfectly complementing the shoot’s 70s-inspired vibe.
With her unparalleled beauty and playful personality, Anastasia Mitina turns cereal-munching, teeth-brushing, or puzzle-solving into an art form. You’ll smile, you’ll swoon, and you’ll maybe even rethink your own breakfast routine. Get ready to be charmed as Anastasia shows us how to savor life to the fullest.

If I had to sum up Anastasia Mitina in just one word, it would be “perfect.” Honestly, I’ve photographed countless women over the years – every shape, size, and color you can imagine – but there’s something about Nastya that makes her stand out as a perfect 10. Watching her pose is truly something special. She has this incredible mix of grace, spontaneity, and pure beauty that draws you in.
It was Gonçalo who first discovered her online. When he shared her Instagram with me, my immediate reaction was, “Wow, she’s gorgeous!” So, when the opportunity came up for a new shoot, she was the first person who came to mind.
The shoot took place on May 17, 2024. It wasn’t quite summer in Portugal yet, so I decided on a cozy vibe with mostly indoor shots and just a few taken outdoors. I chose a wooden house with a relaxed, 70s-inspired aesthetic to create a setting that felt like it could easily represent a typical morning in Anastasia’s life.
From the moment I pointed the camera at her, I knew she was something special. The photos turned out beautifully right from the first shot! The chemistry between us was incredible, and her enthusiasm was absolutely contagious. Nastya has this remarkable confidence and ease with her body – she manages to be daring and sweet at the same time, which is the ideal combination for a Playboy shoot.
I just couldn’t stop taking photos of her. She’s the kind of model who inspires you to keep shooting because every frame feels like magic. I’m already looking forward to our next photo shoot.
