Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Bonn?
Experience is not a requirement. What counts: four natural photos, correct measurements and the willingness to travel to castings and productions.
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.
04Will 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.
05Do 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 train or car in under two hours.
06Which 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.
07From what age can I apply?
From 18 directly. Between 16 and 17 with your parents' consent; we contact them before the first casting.
08Will I get a comp card?
Your comp card is generated from your board profile and available as a PDF to every client.
