I'm going to have to give Mr. Velvet a crash course in shooting BBWs in a flattering way.
As far as not being sure-handed with the camera– I am guilty as charged.
However, our company used to have a magazine called Plumpers that was geared towards the more "full-figured" adult models and their admirers. The readers were into seeing as much extra-poundage and having the weight accentuated as much as possible.
Point being- to some, this IS the most flattering way to shoot this woman.
Still, I am open to any pointers or advice Gia has to offer.
