Photographer Charges Curvy And Plus-Sized Models Extra, Sparks Outrage

The fashion industry is notorious for being harsh to plus-sized women who want to make their bodies seen and their voices heard. Luckily, the body-positive movement keeps on getting stronger, with people of all shapes and sizes challenging unrealistic beauty standards and speaking up about their experiences.

Last week, Megan Mesveskas, owner of modeling agency Model Nexus specializing in body diversity, exposed a well-known NYC-based photographer William Lords. The 24-year-old woman reached out asking about his rates and availability and, in response, his studio manager sent a troubling email with two different prices — one for “standard” models and another for “plus/curve” ones.
