Rusalka is a Ukrainian photographer and figure model. She says she would rather work outdoors than in her studio, but to do so requires a friend to act as her assistant. Rusalka picks the site, sets up the camera, gets into place, and the assistant then trips the shutter. In situations like this, use of an assistant does not make these images any the less a self portrait, for they reflect Rusalka's creative eye.

This pages show examples of her work done outdoors in the Crimean countryside.
