Fashion - Model Casting

I think we struggled as a group with the model casting. Initially we wanted the use of a Prince in the project but have decided to use only the female model, to emphasise the importance of Snow White, and to remain the focus on her without the distraction of a prince.
What we were looking for
We had in mind a young girl with long/Mid length hair, (The length of the hair isn't important as hair extensions can be provided) they needed to be smaller than 5 and a half ft, Pale skin, high cheek bones, plump lips to enable the use of visible lipstick, petite with an age starting from 18 and above.

Casting wise we did have the model Bethany however she dropped out as we came closer to our set build week, this caused a mad casting dash. Nikita found Francesca Shirka from one of the other courses at our uni. Below is an image of Francesca:

Our chosen model - Francesca Shirka

Francesca had the things we were looking for in our model, the only hardship was that her hair was curly and short, however she was completely up for straightening and using extensions in her hair. Below is the use of extensions and straight hair:

Straight hair and extensions

when i first saw these images it made me so happy as i could see that she was perfect for our shoot. Her height and measurements are below, we paid careful attention to make sure that our model was perfect for the shoot and we all agreed that she was.
