Edinburgh in numbers
Why Edinburgh
For models from Edinburgh, jobs in the city and in the region are close together; campaigns and shows in London, Birmingham and Manchester add to the mix.
As the capital, Edinburgh has agencies, media and brands that look for faces all the time: for campaigns, corporate productions and events. Models from Edinburgh often work across several categories.
Edinburgh is a destination, and campaigns are produced here all year. For models from the city that means jobs without travel.
Travel and support
Applicants from United Kingdom are welcome. From Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh?
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?
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.
04What about my photos and data?
Your data stays with us and is deleted after the process if we do not work together. Nothing is shared without your agreement.
05Can I model part-time?
Yes. Many of our models study or work. Tell us your availability early and we book around it.
06Will I get a comp card?
Your comp card is generated from your board profile and available as a PDF to every client.
07Are there jobs in Edinburgh?
Yes. Clients in Edinburgh and in Dundee, Glasgow and Newcastle upon Tyne book through us; campaigns and shows also take you to London, Birmingham and Manchester.
08Do 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 plane or train.
