Sha Rizel

Sha Rizel

Born on August 19, 1988, in Kyiv, Ukraine, Sha Rizel has been active in modeling since 2009, making her one of the longer-serving figures in the glamour and adult modeling space. Over a career spanning roughly 16 years, she has worked across commercial modeling, television, and adult content, building recognition primarily through her naturally large bust and work with several well-known studios.

Early Career in Ukraine

Sha began her modeling career around age 20, initially working in commercial and mainstream modeling in Ukraine. During this period she also made television appearances under her birth name, Katya Sidorenko, and was featured in the Russian edition of MAXIM magazine. These early years established her presence in Eastern European media before her transition to adult-oriented work.

Discovery and Transition to Adult Modeling

Japanese photographer Satoshi Kizu, known for discovering and photographing Yulia Nova, played a key role in Sha's move into nude modeling. Kizu promoted her under the alias Sophie Nova through his website Russian Beauties. Her first notable English-language feature was a non-nude pictorial in the September 2012 "All Stars Issue" of Bachelor magazine. Kizu also shot her first nude set, originally planned for a September 2012 release but delayed by several months. When Pin Up Files eventually published the pictorial in December 2012, it drew significant attention.

Scoreland and Industry Recognition

On February 1, 2013, Sha made her debut on Scoreland under the name "Sha Rizel," which became her best-known alias. She quickly climbed to the top five in popularity among the site's roster of models. By early March 2013, Scoreland dedicated an entire week to her, publishing four photosets and three videos over five days. By the end of that year, she was named Scoreland's Newcomer of the Year for 2013.

Her work also appeared on platforms such as Met-Art and DDF Busty. A nude gravure DVD shot by Kizu, titled Sophie Nova: Virgin Nude, was released in Japan in April 2013.

In 2022, Sha was voted into Scoreland's Big-Boob Hall of Fame, a recognition of her lasting impact within the natural boobs niche.

Profile and Current Status

Sha stands 5 feet 7 inches tall with black hair, blue eyes, and measurements of 42-24-37. She wears a 30L (US) bra and her bust is natural. She has a Latin text tattoo on her outer left calf reading "Haec Fac Ut Felix Vivis," meaning "Do this in order to live happily," as well as an oriental character on her back. As a Ukrainian model, she is among the more recognized names from that region in the adult industry. While she is no longer actively producing new studio content, she maintains a presence through social media and content platforms.
