Become a model in Frankfurt
Want to become a model in Frankfurt? ROW ONE accepts applications from Frankfurt 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 Frankfurt
Frankfurt is 1 kilometres from our Frankfurt office, reachable by train or car in under two hours. 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.
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.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Frankfurt?
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?
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.
04What about my photos and data?
Application photos are stored in private storage, not on the website, and deleted if we do not take you on. Board photos are published only with your consent.
05What happens at the first casting?
A conversation, polaroids, measurements, a short walk. It takes about an hour, by video or in person.
06Are there jobs in Frankfurt?
Yes. Clients in Frankfurt and in Offenbach, Darmstadt and Wiesbaden book through us; campaigns and shows also take you to Berlin, Hamburg and Munich.
07Can 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.
08What does a model earn?
Day rates depend on the category and the usage: e-commerce days at the lower end, campaigns with buyouts at the upper end. Our commission is stated in the contract.
