Studies of high-redshift galaxies behind the cores of mass clusters require the correction of gravitational lensing effects. We present our approach to estimate shapes, magnitudes, and the selection effect of high-redshift galaxies in the image plane, which allows us to include not only lensing magnifications but also lensing distortions and image multiplications. For this purpose we construct new mass models for the Frontier Fields clusters using the public software glafic. We present some results on faint-end slopes of the luminosity function and the size evolution of high-redshift galaxies from the analysis of Frontier Fields clusters.
