Jesus Bernardo Nieves
The Plus Size Modeling industry is flourishing in Puerto Rico and its all due to the beauty that Jesus sees in the plus size model. Yes, Latin women are known for their ‘Curves’ but many Hispanic cultures just don’t celebrate these full-figured women.
I think it is all the media & hype that involves Miss Universe, which brings all the beauty contestants like Miss Puerto Rico, Miss Colombia, etc to be a size 0-2 and be considered perfectly beautiful.
Most magazines feature straight size models ignoring the beauty of plus size women. That image has changed in Puerto Rico. Jesus has made the world see how attractive and photogenic a curvy woman can be.This award winning photographer doesn’t stop just there, here is another link to his newest campaign http://www.bebooudoir.com . His images can be found in EGO magazine, and several other publications in PR. Now there are several plus models that are gaining fame by the minute all shot by Jesus.
(Model above) I love the look of our Suleimis Guibert this Cuban princess is making her stand in the runway and killing it in print as well.
How much is Jesus changing the fashion sense in Puerto Rico? So much that I plan on flying out this summer just to shoot with him. This should tell you all a little something, something.

Curvaciously Yours,
