Plus Modeling: The Real Business Guide

Every collection needs fit sessions. Every catalog, e-commerce shoot, and campaign needs models ready to work. Here’s how to be the one they book.

Commercial print, e-commerce, catalog, denim, intimates, swim, activewear, bridal, maternity, uniform, and fit: the plus division books across all of them. Looking the part and building a paying plus size modeling career are two different things.

Signed. Booked. Paid. Vol. 6 lays out how the plus division actually operates: where the jobs are, what agencies and clients look for, how to get represented, what the work pays, and how to protect your earnings.

Written by Lonna Drewes, a former international model, modeling agency owner, and photo production company owner.
