Kapow Models Welcomes Model: Tyna Kottova

Posted by Kimberly Turner

Kapow News:

We would like to welcome model, Tyna Kottova, to our women’s modeling roster.

Tyna has been modeling officially for almost 3 years, but her talents go much farther back. Having both parents as photographers, she was introduced to the
industry from a young age. She was also supported in dance, acting and music from a young age, and is a well-rounded artist.

Tyna came to Canada when she was very young, being of Czech origin. She believes that family and culture are two things that are important to hold on to and appreciate. She takes an active part in the Czech community of Toronto, and became 1st Vice Miss Czech and Slovak Canada 2010. She also received honorable mentions in the Miss Perfect 10 pageant.

She has walked the runway for various Canadian designers at shows, including FAT 2010. Tyna has also taken part in many photoshoots for local Canadian designers, including Joy Couture and “K, Turn Around” Jewelry.

You can find her on the cover of three Harlequin novels, one of which is the shoot in which she is pictured, titled ‘Shadow of a Sheikh’.

Tyna has channeled her passion for dance into her passion for modeling, but she still takes as much time as possible to get to the studio. It is the way in which she stays in top shape, and blows away stress. However, as much as she loves modeling, she views it with a very professional attitude, and dedicates the same positive energy and hard work as she does for school.

Tyna is currently in her final year at the University of Toronto, specializing in English literature, and planning on a teaching career on any level, aiming high with the possibility of becoming a professor. She enjoys English Lit because she feels it allows her to study many different topics, including History, Art, and Culture, and this Jack-of-all-trades loves that freedom. She already has experience teaching dance and English as a second language.

Tyna is now looking farther into the acting scene, hoping to further her love of art through acting. She believes above all else that culture is created and influenced greatly by art, and she hopes to take part in many different cultures because of her addiction to art.

We are very much looking forward to seeing her career progress as a model and actress.
