Become a model in Gera
Want to become a model in Gera? ROW ONE accepts applications from Gera 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 Gera
The agency grew out of THE GOOD STAFF, which has staffed events for years. We know what clients book, and we only take models we can actually place. That is why the board is small and the jobs are real.
ROW ONE is the model agency of THE GOOD STAFF, based in Frankfurt. We book models for productions across Europe, including Gera and the region, and we are open to applicants who have never modelled before.

Gera in numbers
Why Gera
If you live in Gera, you will mostly work in the region and travel to Berlin, Hamburg and Munich for campaigns and shows. Travel costs are paid by the client.
Models from smaller cities like Gera are on our board too. Jobs come from regional companies and from the larger cities nearby, Jena, Leipzig and Chemnitz among them.
Travel and support
Gera is 255 kilometres from Frankfurt, a few hours away by train. The first conversation is a video call; castings happen in the region or in Frankfurt, and we plan them so that one trip is enough.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Gera?
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.
04Do I have to come to Frankfurt?
Only if it suits you. From Gera the interview happens online, polaroids follow our guide, castings take place where the jobs are.
05Will I hear back?
We read every application in Gera and answer each one, with a clear yes or no.
06Do you also represent men?
Men are welcome; many jobs in Gera and in the region are for mixed line-ups.
07What 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.
08Can I apply at 30, 40 or 50?
Absolutely. Clients book faces of all ages, and the classic category is one of our busiest.
