“And it was really inspiring to me,” Lin says. “Because it’s nice to see a couple that actually stays and are in this industry. It’s refreshing I guess.”
One of her most memorable scenes so far was with legendary performer/director Rocco Siffredi.
“Because we shoot a film and I was the main role of the step family,” Lia says. “But it was really interesting because the crew was like maybe 25 or more people coming in and out so there was just a lot happening.
“It was like an actual film with drones and everything so... It was really difficult but I liked it. It was fun. Other than that I really like shooting for something more slow and passionate but I don’t mind the scenes that I work for now.”
Lin says she also did a scene with Siffredi for his Intimate Castings series.
“He’s a pretty humble guy, actually, and always asks if I’m feeling OK on this shoot or what do you want to change on the wardrobe or anything like that, which is good because the shootings are from morning to late, late night, which makes sense because there’s a lot of details there,” Lia says.
Lin tells AVN she is taking an extended break from anal scenes—she had done several earlier in her career.
“I had to do the transition and I thought it would be impossible because a lot of people told me that no one is gonna shoot you after such hard stuff,” Lia explains. “But I proved them wrong I guess.”
Lia admits that since her early days doing amateur style scenes a couple years ago that her performances have improved.
“I think I’ve been more present in the shooting because before it was more automatic kind of—not genuine. Understandable because I was new. I didn’t know what to do. I was just smiling and trying my best,” Lia says. “But now I understand more the concept. I understand more the script. Beforehand I talk to all the actors and actresses and we have some bond. Not with everyone, but mostly yes. It’s a pleasant time.
“In the beginning, especially the first scene I was very, very scared and nervous because I never did anal in my life, ever. So that was like, oh no. But yeah in comparison I’ve definitely been less nervous. I don’t know I just take it as a job and before I was just anxious...
“I guess I’m less shy now, which is good.”
Lia finished her degree in Marketology in 2019, graduating from a college in St. Petersburg. “It should be like a four-year course but I did skip over a little bit, so it was faster,” she says. “It is benefiting me now because basically the job is advertising something or for me it’s
myself. So it’s really good for social media and making yourself out there, branding yourself like a product. So it’s kind of handy.”
In addition to her modeling endeavors, Lin did a variety of jobs prior to adult, including bartending, IT and translating.
“I was in Turkey translating from English to Turkish,” she says. “I know some Turkish, not so much.
“Pretty much I tried a lot of stuff, like I always do. But the biggest one I was trying very hard with programming, so I put a lot of time to that.”
