Castings take place by video call, in our rooms in Frankfurt or at the production site; jobs come up in Barakaldo, in the region and across Europe.
Why Barakaldo
Models from Barakaldo work in the city, in Bilbao, Vitoria-Gasteiz and Santander and, for campaigns and shows, in Madrid and Barcelona. Travel costs to productions are paid by the client, never by you.
ROW ONE is the model agency of THE GOOD STAFF, based in Frankfurt. We book models for productions across Europe, including Barakaldo and the region, and we are open to applicants who have never modelled before.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Barakaldo?
No. Most of our models started without experience. What matters is natural photos, honest measurements and time for castings and jobs.
02Does the application cost anything?
No. Application, admission and first polaroids are free. We earn a commission on jobs, never from you.
03How tall do I need to be?
For fashion, women from about 172 cm and men from about 184 cm. Commercial and classic have no fixed limits; the face and the presence matter more.
04Do I have to be exclusive with ROW ONE?
No. Exclusivity is an option we discuss once you have worked with us; it is never a condition for admission.
05Will I hear back?
With a clear yes or no, once we have looked at your photos. If yes, we propose a date for the video call.
06What does a model earn?
Day rates depend on the category and the usage: e-commerce days at the lower end, campaigns with buyouts at the upper end. Our commission is stated in the contract.
07What about my photos and data?
Your data stays with us and is deleted after the process if we do not work together. Nothing is shared without your agreement.
08Which photos should I send?
Phone photos are fine. We need to see you, not a production: daylight, neutral background, fitted clothes, no edits.
