Model Wanted.

There's a shoot I'd like to do, but ONLY if I find the exact right person for it, so I'm making this a post here to make it easier to share and possibly find that person. Also, none of these pictures are mine, just ones I found online that represent the idea for a photo shoot. This is open only to people on Prince Edward Island, or possibly anyone who plans to be here for a time during the summer.
I'm looking for a model whose description would match the person depicted in the images below. Basically: thin, blonde, blue or green eyes. I don't want to use wigs or contact lenses to make them look more like this. Dyed hair is fine, so long as they're able to touch it up prior to shoot if needed. Preferably not too many, or any, visible tattoos. Age doesn't really matter so long as they're adult.
Should there be a person who meets all the requirements besides eye colour, that might be perfectly fine too. If they're able to wear contact lenses, we might go that route.
The costume would be similar to what you're seeing here, a simple green dress - it will be custom made for this shoot upon finding a model.
Modelling experience is not specifically necessary, but I might suggest a test shoot or two for someone with zero experience just to be sure it won't be a waste of both our time. There will be prosthetic makeup involved, foam latex ears, so anyone with latex allergies won't be able to this. The application process is fairly quick, 10-15 minutes at most.
This is a one time only volunteer thing, I don't expect anyone to do more shoots beyond this unless they really want to. The time frame for this shoot is summer, so during the months of July, August and September is when I'd be trying to schedule it. It would be a one day thing, transportation can be provided if necessary (I'm located in Hunter River), should the model wish to bring a friend -that is totally fine, but I might expect them to work not just stand around as I find that too distracting. We might have to do a costume fitting at one point as well. And the shoot itself could be anywhere from 2 hours to 4-5 hours, depending on the experience of the model. The more the model is able to bring to the shoot, usually the better the shoot, the more pictures and sometimes the longer things can run.
The shoot itself will take place, most likely, at Scales Pond, Kinkora, PEI. So it will be in the woods, look similar to the pictures as well. It may involve climbing up a tree or two, being in the water (which might be cold), getting a bit dirty and just being in nature in general. The model can have copies of the resulting pictures, both low and hi res versions to do whatever they want with, so long as I'm properly credited. I myself will only be using the images for social media or for promoting my shop in some way. I don't directly make money from doing these shoots, it's just a hobby because I make prosthetic makeup for sale online.
And lastly, if I can't find the exact right person this year, I will just postpone the shoot and possibly try again next year instead of compromising with someone "close enough". Those interested can contact me at: themonkeyrodeo@gmail.com or via Facebook on The Monkey Rodeo page, or Instagram even. or submit a form submission here - just make sure to note that it's in regards to this post and be prepared to send an image, or two, of yourself.
