Plus size and curve modelling jobs
Plus size modelling splits in two. Curve work for fashion and high-street brands goes through agencies. Glamour, nude and adult work is freelance, and that is what Climaxx Media lists: we are an adult, glamour and nude casting marketplace for over-18s. We do not place fashion, commercial, catalogue or child models. Both routes are explained below so you can pick the right door.
How do plus size models find work in the UK?
Fashion and commercial plus size models are signed by agencies with a curve division, which take applications on their own websites and charge nothing upfront. Glamour, nude and adult work is freelance: plus size women aged 18 or over list their real size on a casting platform such as Climaxx Media and apply to castings that fit.
The agency route: curve divisions
If you picture yourself in a clothing campaign or on a retailer's website, you want an agency with a curve or plus size division. They recruit the way every legitimate agency does. You fill in the form on their website with plain snapshots and honest measurements, and they get in touch if you suit their clients. Do not pay to apply, to be "assessed", or for a portfolio as the price of being signed. GOV.UK says an agency cannot charge any upfront fees for finding work for photographic and fashion models, and the British Fashion Model Agents Association tells applicants never to pay up-front charges.
Paid "model assessment days" and portfolio packages are the usual trap. The test is simple: money should flow to the model.
The freelance route: glamour, nude and adult work
Nobody signs you here. Photographers, producers and content creators post castings, and you apply to the ones you like. Your build goes on your profile in your own words, hirers read it before they get in touch, and some castings ask for curvy or plus size women in so many words. Nobody on our team will tell you to change your body or grade you on it, and we do not edit your photos. London and Manchester carry the most castings, so that is where most of the opportunities are, and our London modelling jobs page covers the capital.
Describe yourself accurately. A photographer who booked from pictures taken three years and two dress sizes ago is going to be awkward about it on the day, and you are the one standing in the studio. Current photos get you booked by people who want what you look like now.
You choose how far the work goes. Some women keep to lingerie and swimwear. Others add topless, art nude or nude work, and some choose filmed adult scenes. Each of those is a setting on your profile, described on modelling levels explained, and nothing above your level is sent to you.
Pay
Glamour and nude stills on Climaxx Media typically pay £100 to several hundred pounds per shoot. Most filmed adult castings pay women £300 a scene. Those are the same figures we publish for every woman on the board, and how much models get paid in the UK gives the source for each. We do not know how many castings will suit you in a given month and will not guess. Independent producers and creators post the work and decide who to book.
Safety and privacy
Turn down any casting that asks you to pay to take part, to join, or to film. Refuse to send ID or nude photos by email or messaging app, whoever is asking. Expect the level, location, date and fee in writing before you agree, and leave if the plan changes when you arrive. Your safety has the fuller list.
On Climaxx Media your ID is looked at by a member of our team for the age and identity check and is never shown to producers. Your legal name stays off your profile. A public profile page exists only if you switch it on yourself once your ID is approved. See trust and records.
Applying
Women apply without a fee. You upload photo ID, a selfie holding that ID, and a few recent photos, all inside your account and never by email. A person reviews the application. The verification photos guide shows how to get the ID picture right first time, and plans are listed on performer pricing. New to all of this?

Plus size modelling: common questions
What size are plus size models?
There is no single definition. Each fashion agency sets its own range for its curve division, and we hold no figures for them. On Climaxx Media it does not work by threshold at all: you describe your build on your profile, and hirers look for what their shoot needs.
What is curve modelling?
Curve is the name most fashion agencies now give their plus size division. It means the same work as any other fashion or commercial modelling, booked for brands that sell in larger sizes. It is agency work, which Climaxx Media does not offer.
Are plus size models paid less?
Not on our board, as far as the published rates go. A casting states one fee for the job. Glamour and nude stills typically pay £100 to several hundred pounds per shoot, set by level and usage, and the model's size is not part of that sum.
Do I need professional photos to apply?
No. Recent, unfiltered phone photos in daylight are what we ask for, because hirers book the person who turns up. The British Fashion Model Agents Association gives fashion applicants the same advice: do not spend money on a portfolio.
What does BBW mean on a casting?
It is a term adult producers and creators use for bigger women, and you will see it as a category on some adult castings. Whether you use it for yourself is up to you. Your profile describes you in your own words, and you only apply to castings you are comfortable with.
Is there an age limit?
Only a lower one. Every member is 18 or over and is checked against photo ID. There is no upper limit, and our mature modelling page covers work for women over 40.
