Models: what do clients want to see in your portfolio if you aren't a size 2?

The Key Elements a Formerly-Known-As-Plus-Size-Model Must Have in their Portfolio

These days a modeling portfolio for various sizes are all pretty similar. In fact with the expansion of middle sized markets and agencies, it’s all a blur between size 2 and 20. But if I had to break it down into a few must haves for girls with more curves- here’s where I would land.

1. Mix commercial with Fashion. Money-making models do a little of both. Making sure to have enough smiling shots as well as high-end quality creative images is important. If you had to lean one way, I would say more commercial is better.

2. Something that shows off curves and legs. Your body is EXACTLY why you’re being hired, so show it to your comfort level.

3. A beautiful headshot

4. Movement. Clients want to see that you can give the clothes a real show.
