A photographer charged $100 more than his “standard” pricing to take pictures of plus-size models, and the internet is hitting back.

Megan Mesveskas is a 24-year-old model and founder of the agency Model Nexus, which specialises in body diversity. On Friday, Mesveskas took to TikTok to share an email she received after reaching out to a well-known photographer, William Lords, asking about his rates and availability to photograph some of her clients. The photographer’s studio manager responded with two separate pricing for photoshoots. The price to shoot a “standard” model was $950, but the price for photographing a “plus-sized/curve” model was $1050.
