Want to become a model in Groningen? ROW ONE accepts applications from Groningen 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 Groningen
What we look for in Groningen: natural photos, honest measurements, time for castings and jobs. What we do not need: a portfolio, a course certificate or a fee. We take care of the first pictures ourselves.
Groningen is 375 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.

Models from smaller cities like Groningen are on our board too. Jobs come from regional companies and from the larger cities nearby, Leeuwarden, Zwolle and Oldenburg among them.
If you live in Groningen, you will mostly work in the region and travel to Rotterdam and Amsterdam for campaigns and shows. Travel costs are paid by the client.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Groningen?
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?
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.
04Will 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.
05Will I get a comp card?
Your comp card is generated from your board profile and available as a PDF to every client.
06Are there jobs in Groningen?
Yes. Clients in Groningen and in Leeuwarden, Zwolle and Oldenburg book through us; campaigns and shows also take you to Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
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.
08Which photos should I send?
Phone photos are fine. We need to see you, not a production: daylight, neutral background, fitted clothes, no edits.
