Become a model
Become a model in Barcelona
Want to become a model in Barcelona? ROW ONE accepts applications from Barcelona and the surrounding area free of charge: four natural photos, your measurements and contact details are enough. You hear from us either way, and we meet by video call or at a casting nearby. No fees, no courses, jobs in fashion, commercial, e-commerce and shows.
Why Barcelona
What we look for in Barcelona: natural photos, honest measurements, time for castings and jobs. What we do not need: a portfolio, a course certificate or a fee. We take care of the first pictures ourselves.
The agency grew out of THE GOOD STAFF, which has staffed events for years. We know what clients book, and we only take models we can actually place. That is why the board is small and the jobs are real.

Barcelona in numbers
Why Barcelona
Barcelona is a trade-fair city (080 Barcelona Fashion and Mobile World Congress). During fair weeks models are booked for presentations and shows; hostess jobs run through THE GOOD STAFF, our sister brand.
Barcelona has a fashion week: shows, presentations and showroom appointments need models with walk and timing. If you live here, castings happen on your doorstep every season.
Barcelona is big enough for its own production scene. If you live here, studios and sets are usually a train ride away, and many jobs are day productions.
Travel and support
Applicants from Spain are welcome. From Barcelona everything up to the first casting happens online; jobs are in Spain and in Germany, with travel paid by the client.
Requirements

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Barcelona?
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?
Guide values: women 172 to 181 cm, men 184 to 192 cm for fashion. For commercial and e-commerce we book outside these ranges as well.
04Which photos should I send?
Phone photos are fine. We need to see you, not a production: daylight, neutral background, fitted clothes, no edits.
05What happens at the first casting?
We talk about your availability and goals, take polaroids and measurements, and explain the next steps. No test shoot, no fee.
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.
07Do I have to come to Frankfurt?
Not for the application. The first conversation is a video call; castings happen in the region or in Frankfurt, reachable by plane or train.
08Can I apply at 30, 40 or 50?
Yes. Classic models are in demand for commercial, corporate and healthcare productions; there is no upper age limit.
