NOT A MODEL BUT I THINK I MIGHT GIVE IT A TRY ✨💜

People have been telling me for years that I should give modeling a try. I’ve always brushed it off, not because I didn’t believe I could do it but because I honestly don’t know where / how to start and I really just like taking bomb a$$ pictures for fun. It’s a bit of an escape for me. When I get in front of the camera I pretend I’m on America’s Next Top Model (is that weird for a 32 year old?) lol 😆 I also feel that it’s important to have different plus size body types in the fashion industry, everybody doesn’t have the FN model body type and that’s ok.

Anywho, any advice on how to get into the plus size modeling industry?

... Read moreExploring the world of plus size modeling can be both exciting and daunting, especially for those who are passionate about fashion and self-expression. While the fashion industry has made strides in inclusivity, many aspiring plus size models still face challenges when trying to break into the field. It's essential to remember that everybody has a unique shape and style, and representation matters. If you're looking to start your modeling journey, here are a few tips to consider: First, build your confidence by practicing in front of the camera and experimenting with poses that make you feel empowered. Creating a portfolio that showcases your personality, style, and versatility is crucial; consider collaborating with local photographers who are open to creative projects. Networking is another key component. Attend events, workshops, and fashion shows to meet industry insiders who can provide advice and support. Utilize social media to share your journey, connect with other models, and engage with brands that resonate with you. Remember, the modeling industry is evolving, and your unique perspective is valuable. Embrace your body and own your narrative!
