This shoot was a fun study in making it work!
A self-described “plus-sized lingerie boutique” sent us a few fun things to photograph. So we booked a model represented by a “plus-sized agency.”
But when our lovely model showed up for the shoot, she was smaller than me! Hahaa! My first reaction was to think Oh my goodness she’s not big enough. But I caught myself super quick and thought Who the heck is to say who is plus size, minus size, regular size, right size. She’s perfect.
So I hustled. I found this mannequin in a back closet of the studio, grabbed it and had some fun.
I also gave her my #realisbeautiful t-shirt. She is unretouched in all of these pictures.
The lingerie boutique and the model agency both have different ideas on what plus-sized is. We will, of course, have to book someone who actually fits the clothing we want to photograph.
In the meantime, I hope you find this story and pics inspirational.
When life surprises you, make meaningful photographs!
Love, Christa
