Darmstadt in numbers
Why Darmstadt
From Darmstadt to Frankfurt is a short trip. Polaroids, measurements and castings happen in person, and Rhine-Main jobs are day jobs.
Models from smaller cities like Darmstadt are on our board too. Jobs come from regional companies and from the larger cities nearby, Offenbach, Frankfurt and Mainz among them.
Darmstadt is right next to Frankfurt: castings in our rooms, jobs across the Rhine-Main region, hardly any travel.
Travel and support
Darmstadt is close to our office: after the video call we invite you to Frankfurt, 27 kilometres away. Many productions in the Rhine-Main region are day jobs from Darmstadt.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Darmstadt?
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?
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.
04Can I apply at 30, 40 or 50?
Yes. Classic models are in demand for commercial, corporate and healthcare productions; there is no upper age limit.
05Do you also represent men?
Men are welcome; many jobs in Darmstadt and in the region are for mixed line-ups.
06From 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.
07Do 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.
08Will 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.
