It usually takes a good 12 months for models to start booking regular clients. Agents often tell their models that being with a plus-size model agency is a WIP (work in progress). It won't happen over night, but it will happen.
Being professional and prepared at all times and really working at being a plus-size model will make it happen. It sometimes only takes one photograph for the model's career to skyrocket and that's why it's very important to keep testing and trying different photographers to get that 'one' shot that will make all the difference.
Our agency had one model that was doing 'okay' and then had a test shoot with a funky new photographer. This guy got 'the shot' that took her career from strength to strength and she is now working overseas as an international model.
It's an important lesson, modelling isn't just about you. It's a complex collaboration between your agency, the client, photographer, stylist, make-up artist, hair stylist and a whole bunch of other people. Work it to wow!
