Questions

Frequently asked

01Do I need experience to apply from Bilbao?

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.

06From what age can I apply?

From 18 directly. Between 16 and 17 with your parents' consent; we contact them before the first casting.

07Do I have to come to Frankfurt?

Only if it suits you. From Bilbao the interview happens online, polaroids follow our guide, castings take place where the jobs are.

08Will I get a comp card?

Yes, once you are on the board. The comp card is produced by us, free of charge, and updated with every new set of pictures.
