This will tell you things you will need, tips on picture taking, and websites to check out to get started.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A good digital camera 5px or better
  • Good Quality Clothes In Good Condition
  • A Good Place to Take Pictures
  • A Photographer
  • Email Address
  • Several Good Quality Photos
  1. Step 1

    Buy a good quality digital camera or borrow one from someone. Take several shots of yourself. Take good full body shots as well as a few head shots. Get yourself in different poses and in different environments if you can. Take as many pictures as you can. Do a few poses in some sexy lingerie as well, but make sure it's tasteful.

  2. Step 2

    Touch up and upload your pictures to your computer and visit various sites and submit applications attaching the required photos for each site. The more you can get out there, the more likely you'll find someone who you will be perfect for. I am including a list of sites below that you can try out in the third step. Try to update your picture portfolio as often as possible and write out a good Bio for yourself. Tell your hobbies and interesting things about you as well as maybe why you want to be a model. Keep a copy of this somewhere because you will need it often to submit with your applications and pictures.

  3. Step 3

    Be sure and take your measurements often and write them down along with your Bio to submit in your applications. Alot of places like to know your size, weight, height, and bra size. Since your measurements can change you should remeasure often and make sure you are giving accurate information. Then get out there and search for as many sites as you can to submit your applications too. Follow the site's directions for applying and don't get discouraged if you get turned down for one. Also, don't let anyone get you down if you decide to be an adult model. You are still succeeding and are still showing the world how beautiful a BBW can be. So be proud.

Tips & Warnings
  • Here is a list of websites to get you started
  • http://www.plusizeprofile.com they aren't a modeling agency but they will put up a profile for you for others to view who might use you as a model in their project, they are also doing a BBW Calendar and Member of the Month contest
  • http://www.bodaciousmagazine.com a lot of BBW models got their start in this mag.
  • https://secure.modelmayhem.com/reqs.php this site is for all models and this goes directly to their requirements page
  • http://www.musecube.com Another modeling site where people go searching for models, etc.
  • http://dailyvenusdiva.com/ A plus size resource for aspiring models and regular BBWs as well, also has it's own tips for BBW Modeling.

  • http://www.bbwadultmodels.com/online/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=70&Itemid=139 For those considering being a BBW Adult Model a requirement page to check out.
  • Be careful not to put a lot of nude pornographic pictures out there until you are sure of what kind of modeling you want to do. If people get wind of you having pornographic pictures circling the internet, they are likely not to want to hire you.
  • Be careful of the agencies you deal with and modeling jobs. Check out the credentials and sites and ask questions. DO NOT PAY THEM FOR YOU TO MODEL. IT IS LIKELY A SCAM. A legitimate place will help you with what you need.
  • Don't let yourself get discouraged, if you give up you won't achieve your goals. Make sure it's something you're ready to commit to and stick with.
  • This can be time consuming taking pictures, hiring photographers to take pictures can cost money as well as buying good quality cameras. Be sure you realize it's going to take time to upload, take pics, fill out applications and then wait for responses.
