Castings take place by video call, in our rooms in Frankfurt or at the production site; jobs come up in Basingstoke, in the region and across Europe.
Why Basingstoke
ROW ONE is the model agency of THE GOOD STAFF, based in Frankfurt. We book models for productions across Europe, including Basingstoke and the region, and we are open to applicants who have never modelled before.
Our board is diverse: fashion, commercial and classic, women and men from 16 to over 60. If you are not sure whether you fit, apply anyway; we would rather look twice than miss a face.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Basingstoke?
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.
04From what age can I apply?
From 18 without further ado, from 16 with parental consent. There is no upper limit: classic models over 40 are in demand.
05Do 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.
06Will I get a comp card?
Your comp card is generated from your board profile and available as a PDF to every client.
07Are there jobs in Basingstoke?
Basingstoke and the region offer jobs in e-commerce, commercial and events; for fashion and shows we book in London, Birmingham and Manchester as well.
08What happens at the first casting?
A conversation, polaroids, measurements, a short walk. It takes about an hour, by video or in person.
