Why Hagen
You live in Hagen and want to work as a model? ROW ONE is looking for new faces across Germany: for fashion, commercial, e-commerce and shows. You do not need experience, but you do need reliability. The application takes five minutes and costs nothing.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Hagen?
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.
04Which photos should I send?
Four natural photos: face front, face profile, full body front, full body side. Daylight, plain clothes, no make-up, no filters.
05What 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.
06Are there jobs in Hagen?
Hagen and the region offer jobs in e-commerce, commercial and events; for fashion and shows we book in Berlin, Hamburg and Munich as well.
07Do I have to be exclusive with ROW ONE?
You decide. Some models are exclusive with us, others are not; both work.
08Can I model part-time?
Yes. Many of our models study or work. Tell us your availability early and we book around it.
