Tell our readers a little about yourself so they can get to know you better. Where do you live? What is your profession? What are your hobbies? Any interesting facts about you?

SERGEY: I was born and raised in Moscow, and I still live here. As a child, I dreamed of moving to New York, but the more I traveled, the more I realized how much I love Moscow and everything it has to offer. I did live in New York and Europe for a short time, but it didn’t change my mind.

I studied psychology but dropped out of my postgraduate studies. Becoming a choreographer happened by accident — like in the movies, when you go somewhere just to accompany a friend, but they leave, and you end up staying. And now, here I am, giving an interview. Today, psychology and dance go hand in hand in my creative work.

I’m also a coffee expert — I professionally brew V60 coffee and know all the little nuances of this art. But it’s just a hobby — I’m simply in love with this drink. Just like I am with dry white wine, haha.

Tell us a bit about this shoot and your experience with erotic photography.

SERGEY:  This was my first professional naked photoshoot. Before that, I only played around with selfies, experimenting with angles and editing. My friends used to joke in the comments: “Naked again?” They joked, but they still left likes.

I had been following Serge for a while, and one day, I just reacted to his story. Turns out, I was a good fit for something, though I wasn’t quite sure what at first. But I was excited to be in front of his camera. I easily dive into new experiences when I feel safe with the person next to me, and that’s exactly what happened during this shoot. The most surprising thing was seeing the final result — the man looking back at me from the screen was someone I would have liked and admired online. I never knew I could look like that.

Was there a particular moment or detail during the shoot that made the experience especially exciting or interesting for you?

SERGEY: Being outside, naked, in a public place at 5 AM wasn’t exactly arousing, haha. What intrigued me the most wasn’t the nudity itself but the act of covering up — teasing, in a way. The most thrilling shot for me is the one where an old church stands in the background, and I’m wrapped in a blanket. That one gives me chills.

How do you feel when you’re completely naked in front of the camera? Was it difficult the first time?

SERGEY: Like I said, as long as I trust the person next to me, it doesn’t matter what I’m doing — so it was easy. I actually enjoy being naked in front of the camera. I love the process of finding the right angles, lines, textures, and shadows. But the best part is deciding how much to reveal when the photos are published. How much should I leave to the viewer’s imagination? It’s like Hitchcock’s method — except instead of scaring people, I invite them to fantasize in a much more pleasant way.

What erotic photoshoot concept would you love to bring to life in the future?

SERGEY: I admire photographers who manage to capture the most intimate moments of human touch — lips, glances, fingertips barely brushing, or intentional caresses. When it’s done right, it’s breathtaking. For me, that’s the ultimate skill. I’d love to be photographed in such moments of deep connection with another person.

Do you have a favorite pose or angle where you feel you look best in photos?

SERGEY: After this rooftop shoot, I was surprised to discover how great my back and butt look! That’s a new field of exploration for me. But generally, I know my left side is my best one — all my three-quarter angle shots turn out well, so I automatically like them.

What does sexuality mean to you? How do you express it in life and in front of the camera?

SERGEY: I always pay attention to a well-groomed face, beautiful hair, and an expressive gaze. But none of that works without good manners, a sense of humor, and the ability to hold an intellectual conversation. And even that doesn’t work without confidence and, for example, an enticing personal scent. I think I come across as sexy in real life when people see me in my element — at work, where I lead the process and radiate confidence and energy. In front of the camera, I know how to showcase the best “wrapping” — a lean body, muscle definition, and an intense gaze.

When do you feel the most attractive?

SERGEY: When I’m creating choreography. I know, it’s weird, considering I’m usually drenched in sweat at that moment. But my body feels so alive, warm, and flexible — it’s exciting. Oh, and right after I shower at the gym. That’s peak sex appeal. I could go straight from there to the bedroom, haha.

What part of your body do you find most attractive?

SERGEY: Right now, I’m really into my collarbones. Also, my biceps and triceps are naturally well-defined no matter my fitness level, and I think those lines look great.

What are your preferences in sex? What do you enjoy, and what are your boundaries?

SERGEY: I’m definitely all about tenderness — at least in the beginning. Touch and sensual kisses are essential. (Pro tip: if you want to drive me crazy with desire, the area around my neck and behind my ears is your playground). I love passionate and wet oral sex, slow body caresses mixed with sudden, intense grabs and presses. I’m open to moderate spanking — everything is up for discussion, and I find it incredibly arousing.

What I don’t accept is direct violence. I don’t understand it and get no pleasure from it. Other than that, I’m open to a lot.

How do you feel about compliments on your sexuality? Do you hear them often?

SERGEY: Sometimes, but they’re usually very reserved and “toothless”, almost impersonal. It’s neither good nor bad, but it’s still nice to hear them, and I gladly accept them.

What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received in bed?

SERGEY: I don’t want to show off, so I’ll just quote my ex, whom I was with for seven years and broke up with five years ago. He recently told me, “I still haven’t met anyone with whom it was as amazing as with you.” Another time, after sex, someone said, “Well, you just set the bar — how am I supposed to go on dates now?”

What’s the most unusual place you’ve ever had sex?

SERGEY: Probably in a friend’s car. Not unusual enough? What if I told you the car was moving, there were people driving and sitting in the front seats, and we were in the back? And no one ever found out.

Tell us about your tattoos: when did you get your first one, and why? Are you planning any new ones?

SERGEY: My first tattoo is symmetrical on my wrists — a triangle within a triangle: the symbol of the feminine (pointing downward) inside the symbol of the masculine (pointing upward). It represents the balance of feminine energy within masculine and serves as a reminder of equilibrium, which I try to maintain in life. The triangles point in opposite directions on each wrist — my right hand receives information from the world, while my left hand gives. When I embrace someone and bring my wrists together, I become a conduit for everything I’m ready to share in that personal space. I don’t plan on getting any more — I’ve already “said” everything I wanted to with my tattoos. I have five in total.

How do you feel about experimenting in sex? Is there something you’ve been wanting to try for a while?

SERGEY: I’m open to everything except direct violence. Toys and lingerie turned out to be uninteresting to me. I occasionally have experiences with threesomes and have fantasies about increasing the number of partners at once. Sometimes, I daydream about a spontaneous encounter with a delivery guy — realizing in a split second that you both want it, giving in to passion, and then silently parting ways.

What kind of underwear do you prefer? And what do you wear at home when you’re alone?

SERGEY: When I’m alone, I usually wear clothes, sometimes just underwear. Walking around completely naked at home feels strange — I don’t associate being nude with doing chores or having coffee at the kitchen table. Otherwise, I wear short boxer briefs or briefs.

What’s the boldest thing you’ve ever done?

SERGEY: Probably trying to build a relationship while living in Russia. Also, I was in a relationship for six months with someone underage — with full approval from his mom.

Is it true that people who are great dancers are also great in bed? Have you ever encountered exceptions?

SERGEY: I don’t think it’s a rule, but I have to say, sex with dancers has been more enjoyable than with people from other professions. But I haven’t tried them all yet.

Erotic photographers are often asked about flings on set. Does this stereotype apply to choreographers? Have you ever had a passionate dance lead to an equally passionate night?

SERGEY: Dance usually happens in studios — with unlocked doors, security cameras, and mostly group sessions. Those passionate one-on-one lessons that lead to something more exist only in movies, or maybe in Latin dance classes, according to rumors. But if you’re asking whether I’ve had sex with some of my students (with their consent, of course), then yes, I have.

What was harder — getting fully naked in front of the camera or answering our questions?

SERGEY: I enjoyed both as well.
