Become a model
Become a model in Bordeaux
Becoming a model in Bordeaux starts at ROW ONE with four photos and your measurements. The application takes five minutes, application and admission are free, and we answer every application. Castings take place by video call, in our rooms in Frankfurt or at the production site; jobs come up in Bordeaux, in the region and across Europe.
Why Bordeaux
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.
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.

Bordeaux in numbers
Why Bordeaux
Bordeaux is a destination, and campaigns are produced here all year. For models from the city that means jobs without travel.
Bordeaux is a mid-sized city where companies produce catalogues, campaigns and events. Many jobs for models from Bordeaux are also in Limoges, Toulouse and Donostia-San Sebastián.
Hotels, destinations and lifestyle brands in Bordeaux book models for campaigns on location, often at short notice and in daylight. If you live in Bordeaux, you have an advantage.
Travel and support
Bordeaux is 909 kilometres from Frankfurt, reachable by plane or train. We work with models across France; interview and polaroids happen by video, castings in the region or on set.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Bordeaux?
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?
Nothing. We never charge for comp cards, photos or courses; if someone does, it is not us.
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.
04Are there jobs in Bordeaux?
Bordeaux and the region offer jobs in e-commerce, commercial and events; for fashion and shows we book in Paris, Marseille and Lyon as well.
05Do you also represent men?
Yes. The board has a men's division with the same categories: fashion, commercial, classic.
06What happens at the first casting?
A conversation, polaroids, measurements, a short walk. It takes about an hour, by video or in person.
07Will 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.
08What about my photos and data?
Application photos are stored in private storage, not on the website, and deleted if we do not take you on. Board photos are published only with your consent.
