Become a model in Colchester
Becoming a model in Colchester 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 Colchester, in the region and across Europe.
Why Colchester
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.
Colchester is 579 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.

Experience is not a requirement. What counts: four natural photos, correct measurements and the willingness to travel to castings and productions.

Nothing. We never charge for comp cards, photos or courses; if someone does, it is not us.
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.
04Do I have to come to Frankfurt?
Only if it suits you. From Colchester the interview happens online, polaroids follow our guide, castings take place where the jobs are.
