About Melena Tara
Melena Maria Rya, or better known as Melena Tara, was born on August 26, 1990, in Moscow, Russia. She is 5'7" (173cm) tall, has dark brunette hair, brown eyes, and a naturally slender, tanned figure. Tara is best known for modeling in erotic and fine art photography and is one of the most popular models of her generation.
With over 1600 photo sets, 630 videos, and more than 2300 covers accumulated throughout her career, which has been going on for more than a decade, she represents a rare model who has both quality and quantity under her name. While she is best known as Melena Tara, she has also worked under the following aliases: Melena A, Maria Rya, Marta Nubiles, Talia, Elena, Melenna, Mariska, Marusya Mechta, Maria W4B, and many others.
From Webcam Modeling To Fine Art Photography
Melena entered the adult industry in 2010, and she started out as a webcam model on RusCams and later went on LiveJasmin. On these cam sites, she built quite a following under the names MissMelena, SexySu4ka, and MariaRya. Through her engaging personality, while camming for LiveJasmin, she was regularly winning LiveJasmin Awards, and on May 12, 2012, she transitioned into still photography with her first shoot for MPL studios.
A Career Built Across The Best Platforms
Considering that her first shoot was with a major studio, it should come as no surprise that Melena worked with many other studios that helped her boost her career. She worked with Met-Art, Femjoy, Hegre Art, Sex Art, Nubiles, Watch4Beauty, 21 Sextury, 21 Naturals, MPL Studios, Ultra Films, Playboy Plus, DDF Network, Babes Network, Karups, Porn World, iStripper, Fitting Room, and many others.
While she was doing mostly photographic work after her camming career, she also appeared on the cover of the Czech edition of Maxim in May 2015 and in Penthouse in September 2015. At the time, these two names were the most recognizable ones for erotic publishing, which was quite an achievement for her. The variety of content that Melena created did not stop there, as later on, she would also do some virtual reality videos for Stripz VR, and she even started her own platform MelenaMariaRya.com.
Her content focuses mostly on solo and softcore lesbian content, and this is a deliberate creative choice because she wants to keep her career and her private life separate. Melena's solo performances are known for naturalism and sensuality, and her softcore collaborations with other models reflect the same quality of ease and engagement that characterizes her best work.
Recognition And Milestones
While Melena's focus on solo and webcam content has kept her somewhat outside the mainstream adult film awards world, her career milestones speak for themselves. Her regular LiveJasmin Award wins during her webcam years showed how she built an audience, and her Playboy Plus shoot in October 2017, under the alias Maria Ryabushkina, was a particularly meaningful milestone since Playboy Plus is quite picky with who they work with.
Her social media following is another measure of recognition. As of April 2026, she has over 284000 followers on Instagram and over 180000 on X (Twitter).
Beyond The Camera
Melena keeps her personal life very private, and this has been a choice throughout her whole career. She did publicly share that she loves traveling, music, and connecting with people around her. This can be seen on her Instagram profile, as the posts are a mix of professional modeling with small glimpses into her personal life and traveling.
Met-Art Bio
"I like fun and I love the sun, the sea and music. I have many girlfriends and we adore each other. I love very much a life in all its manifestations. I'm interested in everything in the world. Also I love all people and I'm open to everybody."
Hegre-Art Bio
"For those who follow erotica online, Melena Maria is infamous. Her wild sexual appetite, her deep-throating skills, and her love of anal play have made her famous on the photo and cam sites, all of it aided by her young, girlish looks. But now she's decided to take the plunge into Hegre Land. She'd seen our tantric massage collection, and she was curious. Always happy to oblige the feminine urge, Petter set her up with her first-ever erotic massage with a male model on film. Prepare yourselves. Melena Maria knows full well what she's doing. She loves to shock and drop jaws with her explicit sexuality. But it's no act. This girl is so real, she seems almost unreal. And now Hegre has her. Legend, meet Legend. Let the crazy sexy games begin!"
