Sourcing Models

I sent out a casting call on the website 'Purple Port' to find models to collaborate with on this project. I had a few reply, however their looks weren't right for the project. In my mind I was thinking of pure girls, girls with fair skin and light hair. The girls that replied were covered in tattoos or just didn't look like models. Although there is nothing wrong with tattoos, I don't think that the look would have complimented what I was trying to achieve. In the end I had to use somebody that I knew. The model on the day was professional and understood what I expected of her. I have worked with her before many times so knew that she would be reliable. Luckily she had the look that I had envisaged when thinking of this project. She also contributed to the day and gave me ideas of what could work and what wouldn't. Without her help I don't know what model I would have had to settle for. I was really disappointed with the website Purple Port because half of the girls that replied didn't look professional at all, and the images they had on their portfolios did not help. 

Overall I am happy with how the images came out with the model chosen. I think that she was a great model to work with and helped me out with ideas, which is what I wanted from the team around me. Once again my time management let me down here because if I had started organising models before Christmas I would have had maybe found a multiple selection of models that I could have worked with to create more content for the website. I think that by only using a couple of models on the website may have let it down in terms of, if I had more there would have been a deeper story being told, showing how the organic products work on multiple skin tones. However, by using one model I made the story consistent which allowed for it to flow better.
