Castings take place by video call, in our rooms in Frankfurt or at the production site; jobs come up in Bournemouth, in the region and across Europe.
Why Bournemouth
Bournemouth is 751 kilometres from our Frankfurt office, reachable by plane or train. The first conversation happens by video call; castings and polaroids are done in the region or in Frankfurt, depending on what is easier for you.

Why Bournemouth
Models from smaller cities like Bournemouth are on our board too. Jobs come from regional companies and from the larger cities nearby, Poole, Southampton and Portsmouth among them.
If you live in Bournemouth, you will mostly work in the region and travel to London, Birmingham and Manchester for campaigns and shows. Travel costs are paid by the client.
Travel and support
Applicants from United Kingdom are welcome. From Bournemouth everything up to the first casting happens online; jobs are in United Kingdom and in Germany, with travel paid by the client.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Bournemouth?
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?
Guide values: women 172 to 181 cm, men 184 to 192 cm for fashion. For commercial and e-commerce we book outside these ranges as well.
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.
05What happens at the first casting?
A conversation, polaroids, measurements, a short walk. It takes about an hour, by video or in person.
06Can I apply at 30, 40 or 50?
Absolutely. Clients book faces of all ages, and the classic category is one of our busiest.
07Can I model part-time?
Part-time works well, especially for e-commerce and commercial jobs, which are usually day productions.
08Which photos should I send?
Phone photos are fine. We need to see you, not a production: daylight, neutral background, fitted clothes, no edits.
