It’s always exciting for me to see a model having opportunities to be represented by agencies, hired by clients, travel, and able to be exposed to a variety of talented photographers. That is much rarer than aspiring models realize when they first enter the modeling industry, but they learn the challenges!

This photo is of the Plus Model Joby Bach and this is some of what she said about her niche:
"Firstly, I started modeling in 2009 at the age of 23 years. I'm 27 years old today and I am represented by the agency Montage in Montreal and at Natural Model in L.A. I travel a lot and Its cool! I loved working with the greatest photographers of Canada. Sometimes the experience was not necessarily easy because a few photographers still revere the regular size. There is a large opening for this category here in Canada recently, and it’s great because a lot of women in society… they associate to us. Sincerely, I like to represent the category of voluptuous women, accessible and healthy! Its so awesome!”
