I remember when my husband and I traveled to London only for him to split the crotch of his only pair of jeans and the 8 hours it took us to find him ONE pair of jeans that would fit his rotund posterior. It was heartbreaking.

While we’ve seen great strides for women’s body representation in the general media and photography industry (at least in the boudoir genre), we are lacking the presence of our plus size gents. I did a casting call for some lovely guys to come into the studio so I could create some representation that is desperately needed and while I only received 2 responses, those gents did a phenomenal job and I think we had a great time together. First up is Jaime. This guy has charisma out the wazoo and was incredibly charming - even when I posted images of him on social media my community went nuts with fire emojis and heart eyes. Jaime is a multi-faceted gent who plays in a band and loves the Latin music. I thanked him for participating in this project because he is going to help show other men that they can ALSO be in front of the camera - and not just in a silly way. Without further adieu, enjoy Jaime’s images and feel free to show these to the plus size gent in your life so he can feel validated in his gloriousness.
