Model Casting



For Makeup Artists, Photographers, Fashion Designers and even Hairdressers finding models can be hard, especially they need to fit your criteria and they would have to be perfect for the theme.



To find the Perfect model for your work/portfolio you must;

· Be Specific in your needs: Such as hair, Blondes, Brunettes, Redheads,  Do you want them to be Walking Dancing or  Sashaying on the shoot? If you choose a ballet theme for example if you want your model to do ballet poses and dances make sure that she/he is capable of doing it. Make sure you know their Clothes size as you will be providing an outfit for the shoot. Ethnicity Skin tones really are a huge thing you need to take into consideration and it all depends on your theme. You cant have a ice queen theme and have a really tanned or dark skinned model you would want someone with porcaline skin to tie in with your theme as its your work and you want it to be the best it can be.

· Once you have found a model, Ensure you take details of their name, contact number, email, shoe size? dress size?

· Take a photo as a reference point

( All needs to be inputted into reasearch )

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACK UPS FOR MODELS AS NOT ALWAYS REALIABLE. (Don’t tell your back up model this as she probably would cancel)

To find models there is a lot of places to find them online websites such as;

· Purple port

· Model Mayhem

· Facebook-Manchester Models
