A good photographer doesn't need to ask the person anything as they already know what will make a good photo based on the subject. Meaning they can easily identify a subjects best angles and exploit their angles as quickly and efficiently as possible so as not to waste too much time. What the subject identifies as where thier insecurities lay is wholly irrelevant as a good photographer will know this by just looking at them.

The whole "identifies as plus size" convo has me laughing bc so many people try to tell me "oh you're not plus size!" when that is literally the clothing size I wear... but then when people say identifies everyone is suddenly like "it's not an identity you either are or you aren't!" so like. Which is it. Am I in the wrong because I consider myself plus size even though I don't look it (when I literally wear plus size clothes) or are they in the wrong for calling it an identity. Because people sure seem willing to gatekeep it as an identity when a hourglassy "normal-looking" person says that they wear plus-size clothes.

[@carrrllllll5609]

Guys the term “identify as plus sized” is used because many people have bad experiences with being called plus sized and therefore don’t want to be called that because it feels derogatory other people don’t have those same feelings and prefer to be called that hence they identify with it.

[@nachocheeba]

The phrase "i identify as..." has become one of those most vilified phrases for really dumb reasons. Even i got this gut reaction when he said it but i had to check myself. People have a hard time receiving the fact that people's identities change all the time. Most of us have a hard time with uncertainty and this fact makes the uncertainty bigger. The answer isn't to make people change their identity less. The answer is to learn to be better at handling uncertainty. Also we in the US have a history of hating people who aren't like ourselves for one reason or another, it's been a problem since our independence from Great Britain, we're slowly shedding it but it'll take time. I personally don't think we'll ever get to a point where everyone is accepted as they are in the present moment, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

[@CabbageKin_]

​@@niharikamenon-iz8xu I think you missed the point that the original commenter was making. The irony is that a doctor, who IS supposed to care about you and your health, will not listen to you or your concerns. There are many people who voice concerns about their health, body, and comfort that are often flat out dismissed by their doctor, so the issues persist. A photographer/stylist is more likely to listen to their client and what they want/need for their satisfaction than a doctor who is supposed to keep their patient satisfied with their health.

[@niharikamenon-iz8xu]

@@CabbageKin_ Isn't that how it SUPPOSED to works? Doctor's job is not to SATISFY the customer...their job is to save them. For eg: A mother who yells at u for eating unhealthy cause it's bad for you and a friend who will not say anything cause they JUST DON'T CARE So yeah, a drug dealer won't say anything about the addiction the customer has while a doctor WILL...and that's a good thing

[@CabbageKin_]

@@niharikamenon-iz8xu You misunderstood what I said again. A doctor often DOES NOT LISTEN to their patient and that is the problem; their patient's concerns about their health should be heard. I'll say it again more clearly: There are many people who are constantly miserable, have deteriorating health, or even DIE because a doctor is NOT LISTENING to their patient's concerns. That is the irony, that a stylist or photographer CARES MORE about who they are working with than the doctor who is supposed to keep them HEALTHY AND ALIVE. Yes, both sides have a job to do, and ironically the one that should be more concerned, have a personal connection, and have open communication with their patient is not. It's also extremely ignorant and flat out rude to compare a stylist to a drug dealer. As a former stylist, I can confirm that there are many people who go to stylists in hard times. When post-break up, to prepare for life altering events, in the middle of their gender discovery, and many other personal scenarios, people will turn to stylists for wardrobe help. This expression of self that is tailored SPECIFICALLY for the client is important for not only the client's satisfaction but their mental health. Same for a field like photography that is just another visual expression of self. When someone is happy with themselves, they generally feel more comfortable and better about themselves. Mental health is just as important as physical health. Do not devalue jobs just cuz it doesn't require a doctorate. Many of us do our best to help people with whatever special qualities we have.

[@jimmiejam508]

the difference is the term in question has a particular history. two people who look very alike can have very different labels for their bodies-plus size, fat, overweight, the list goes on. people vary wildly in what they choose and some find other terms offensive. by saying she identifies as plus size OP is saying that she chose this label for herself. that is the literal entire point of this short: that he won’t make assumptions of others bodies & identities. that’s why. it’s a tiny bit of semantic courtesy and it’s not that serious.

[@MsFeline81]

What is labeled as "plus size poses" are a type of pose where everything that doesn't confirm to the narrow beauty standard is purposely turned away from the camera to "hide the imperfections". The most well-known one is the "fake waist" where both hands are placed on the waist and squished in to make the waist appear smaller. You see the same pose in almost every plus size shoot.

I mean. When people say 'plus size' what they mean is 'i have fat somewhere on my body' but that tells you nothing about how their weight sits. Maybe it sits on their stomach in a way they hate but on their butt in a way they like. Maybe they have big thighs but a narrow waist. Maybe they need to know how to angle their face to not show a double chin. Basically what he's saying is 'plus size isn't a label that has a pose. But I can tell you how to find your good angle if you have a double chin or don't wanna emphasize your hips.' When someone says 'im short' you have a full grasp of their situation, because most torsos are about the same size so you just. Lengthen the legs, which is the biggest place of variation. Wear clothing that makes you look longer, put on heels, and pose in ways that foreshorten you and make you look taller.

@@valiantknight6364 Most torsos are NOT the same size. Short people may have short torsos with long legs, short legs with long torsos, or both.

[@______a_068]

Different people identify as short, no? For some people, 511 is "short" for some people that's tall. It's a qualitative term, it's also relative. Same with plus sized

[@Snakeofwrath]

Thank you! And plus sized doesn't always mean fat. Really tall people and really muscular people also count as plus sized. Plus sized just means bigger than average.

[@babyvia6712]

A good point on how often plus sized (or fat, chubby, etc) people are often boxed in to certain options in a way skinny ppl are not. Inclusivity isn’t simply setting aside a certain “area” for certain people, it’s literally approaching certain people the way you’d approach others. Catering to the standards of another persons body is literally already the standard, which means we should be doing it for everyone, is essentially what he’s saying.

poses for: Broad shoulders (insecurity) medium sized waist (sort of an hourglass) Wide hips thick thighs, thinner calfs I like to look thinner than I am. my beauty standards are skinny, slim Im starting to have a good relationship with my body, but I have body dysmorphia, so it’s hard to see what others see in me. I struggle with being photogenic. it’s hard to come up with poses for myself. you don’t have to, but could you please do poses for my body type?

The time i get things like this done..i was told that "i would look prettier if i lose a bit of the weight and slowly over time..lose more because *im not trying to be rude, its only a reality* being at a healthy shape makes you happier and more.. accepted " I was a young teen

[@scarlettfrancesca]

This is so lovely, thoughtful and mindful of difference. As a model and a photographer, its so important to get to know who you're working with and what they want to accomplish and focus on. Not everyone has the same feelings or insecurities, so having an indepth conversation is super important! 🎉

But plus-size does exist and it's not what it means to somebody, it's an objective truth.

I’ve never been comfortable in front of a camera, but a photographer like yourself would have made all the difference and I’ll take many of your awesome tips for for less insecurities in that regard. More than that however…you my friend, are a beautiful soul and joyful spirit. The kind of friend and mentor every person should have. The ones that make us love ourselves just that little bit more. Never change and thank you for the inspiration and full heart. Your humor is infectious but your creativity and art will continue to make this world better and better. Blessings of gratitude and love to you and your whole team! Keep reminding everyone to love themselves. Leave ego behind and use self confidence to live a full life of joyful experiences. Thank you! ❤

Plus size isnt an identity to identify as. You just are. Soon race is gonna be an identity 😂

[@mistresslluvia2632]

Subscribed just for the first few words. Well done. I’ve never- NEVER hit a like follow button so fast. I look forward to this relationship. Tell your mother I said “Hi 👋🏼” (Hand wave included even if she can’t see you) and that “we’ll be over for Xmas “ 🙇🏽‍♀️

[@eddie-roo]

Hello there! To the people commenting about the “identifies as plus size”, people use many terms to label their bodies depending on what makes them comfortable. Some people prefer plus size over fat because fat feels aggressive, some prefer fat over plus sized because plus sized feels condescending, and some people like other labels, like plump, chubby, broad, big or brawn.

[@prachichaubey7340]

Did you just said identifies?

[@buddies6389]

yes

[@edwardmaloney4851]

Yeah he did say that. Are you deaf?

[@user-ke1gn3ql1g]

It's actually sad how hard he is trying not to offend obese people. I appreciate the kindness, but I believe that encouraging behavior like addiction to food that is most likely caused by mental illness isn't a good thing. If you truly care about someone, you tell them what's wrong and help them do better. Putting them in a delusion "of everything is fine, it's all society's fault" doesn't actually help. I know it's none of my business, but it does make me upset to see other people struggling or harming themselves. Sorry if i sounded like an @ss.

[@DearLilBunBun]

Lets be real. Plus size (which can start at SIZE 10 PANTS(!!)) does not always = obese. My mother is 6'0, within the healthy weight guidelines for her height, and still wears size 12/14 pants. I'm 5'0, very slightly above the "ideal weight" guidelines for my height (5lbs), and wear size 10 pants. Why? Because I have a huge fucking ass. I'm a small in shirts, dresses, have a 30 inch ribcage, yet am a LARGE in pants. Am I obese? No. I'm slightly overweight, active, and go to the gym frequently. I think the "identifies as plus size," thing is kinda stupid, but I guess both my mom and I are technically "plus sized" and would never consider ourselves as such.

[@TheSmileycece]

Thank you because as a previously plus size person who loved their size despite society, I loved my body so much and when first working with photographers they'd suggest areas for me to hide that I was confident in. I'm so ok and have worked for many years to be ok with my body as it changes. It's amazing realising the parts of your self you don't hate and even better when others don't make you question that

[@moozycarrots]

I LOVE the breakdown!! Poses can just be put into a box based on current beauty standards. What if I don’t want to be sexy? What if I just want to look engaged and present? This whole perspective is awesome, whether or not you’re engaging with a plus-sized person.

[@user-uv9zr8qs2c]

Didnt know weight is an identification now

[@AugustRx]

Being fat and identifying as plus sized are different

[@kaaarlthatkillspeople4443]

Bro how do you identify as plus size? You just are whatever size you are at the moment, you don't need to be all "this is my identity"

[@lightingangel2863]

It's not so much about it being your identity, but what you're comfortable labeling yourself. Like some might be comfortable being called chubby,I've met people who prefer to be called fat instead . It's just how people prefer to be refered to.
