Image Composition and first impressions of Estella

When reading the description in the book of Estella the main ideas that stuck with me were:
"Pretty brown hair"
"Beautiful and self-possessed"
Queen-like attitude


My initial idea is to show Estella at the time of her meeting pip. So although she may be secretly a broken woman, my initial photo and design of her will show her harshness and strength, which is how Pip originally sees her.

IMAGE COMPOSITION
I plan to use a combination of camera angles and the models posing to get across an air of haughtiness.

I have got ideas of the poses and camera angles from some of Caroline Saulnier's images, purely because her models always have an air of attitude and strength. Obviously the make-up and styling will be completely different but I think it will be interesting to combine the contemporary poses and angles of Saulnier with  Victorian styling. 
She also always uses strong females, which has given me inspiration as this is something that Estella aspires to be.

Some "digital tear outs" of how I want the image to be composed:
