Fat Girl
His most personal work to date, award-winning photographer Carlos Batts explores the often stigmatized world of the "fat girl" in his fourth published collection of photographs with wife, adult film actress, and plus-size model, April Flores. Featuring new and intimate photographs (including Flores' never-before-seen, highly mythologized early "blonde" Polaroids), Fat Girl captures an exquisite perspective unique to the celebrated "culture of beauty."
Carlos Batts was an award-winning artist, photographer, and director. His artwork has appeared on book covers (Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk, Random House UK), fashion magazines (VIBE, Complex, Maxim, WARP Japan), music videos, and comic books (DC Comics/Vertigo).
Sara Rosen was the publisher of Miss Rosen Editions, her own imprint, at powerHouse Books, where she was also Associate Publisher and Publicity and Marketing Director. She left after ten years to start her own company, Miss Rosen. She lives in New York City.
April Flores is an American pornographic actress and plus-size model. In 2009, sex toy company Topco released Voluptuous Pussy, a life-size inflatable doll named after Flores’ vagina but modeled as an exact replica of her entire body. She lives in Los Angeles.
