Esti Ginzburg may well be most recognizable from her Abercrombie and Fitch modeling days—she entered the industry when she was just 8 years old and signed her first big agency contract at 14. The Israeli-born model was featured in the SI Swimsuit Issue for three consecutive years (2009, ’10 and ’11 ), making her debut at the age of 18. 

“Being in the issue, it definitely changes your life in some way,” the 32-year-old gushed. “All the girls are just real girls. They’re nice, they’re approachable, they’re healthy. You do get more [of a] chance to be yourself. I’m not here promoting a certain brand.”

She parlayed her modeling success into a stint on the big screen, appearing in Twelve (2010) and Movie 43 (in 2013). Ginzburg married her husband, real estate investor Adi Keizman, in June 2012. The two now live in Los Angeles with their sons, Raphael and Michael. She continues to spend time at the beach and share bikini pics on Instagram. 

“India’s unlike any other country I’ve ever been in. The people, they’re so polite and nice and respectful,” she said during her 2010 photo shoot with Riccardo Tinelli. “I’m very happy [the Swim team] chose me to shoot in this location. The key sentence of the India shoot is ‘off the clock.’ We want to make it look natural. We’re having fun.”

Here are eight of our favorite photos from Ginzburg’s 2010 photo shoot in Rajasthan, India.
