Become a model in Cardiff
Want to become a model in Cardiff? ROW ONE accepts applications from Cardiff and the surrounding area free of charge: four natural photos, your measurements and contact details are enough. You hear from us either way, and we meet by video call or at a casting nearby. No fees, no courses, jobs in fashion, commercial, e-commerce and shows.
Why Cardiff
Cardiff is 847 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.
Models from Cardiff work in the city, in Newport, Bristol and Swansea and, for campaigns and shows, in London, Birmingham and Manchester. Travel costs to productions are paid by the client, never by you.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Cardiff?
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?
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.
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.
05Will I hear back?
We read every application in Cardiff and answer each one, with a clear yes or no.
06Do 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.
07Do I have to come to Frankfurt?
Only if it suits you. From Cardiff the interview happens online, polaroids follow our guide, castings take place where the jobs are.
08What happens at the first casting?
A conversation, polaroids, measurements, a short walk. It takes about an hour, by video or in person.
