Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Basildon?
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.
04Which photos should I send?
Four natural photos: face front, face profile, full body front, full body side. Daylight, plain clothes, no make-up, no filters.
05What 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.
06Can I apply at 30, 40 or 50?
Absolutely. Clients book faces of all ages, and the classic category is one of our busiest.
07Are there jobs in Basildon?
Yes. Clients in Basildon and in Southend-on-Sea, Chelmsford and Dagenham book through us; campaigns and shows also take you to London, Birmingham and Manchester.
08Do I have to be exclusive with ROW ONE?
You decide. Some models are exclusive with us, others are not; both work.
