Helsinki in numbers
Why Helsinki
For models from Helsinki, jobs in the city and in the region are close together; campaigns and shows in Vantaa, Espoo and Tallinn add to the mix.
In the capital in Finland models are booked for editorial, advertising and events; demand is broad, and so is the competition. We place selectively, not in bulk.
With around 660,000 inhabitants, Helsinki has companies, agencies and studios that book models regularly, plus productions in Vantaa, Espoo and Tallinn within easy reach.
Travel and support
Helsinki is 1,514 kilometres from Frankfurt, reachable by plane or train. We work with models across Finland; interview and polaroids happen by video, castings in the region or on set.

No. Most of our models started without experience. What matters is natural photos, honest measurements and time for castings and jobs.

Nothing. We never charge for comp cards, photos or courses; if someone does, it is not us.
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.

Four natural photos: face front, face profile, full body front, full body side. Daylight, plain clothes, no make-up, no filters.

Helsinki and the region offer jobs in e-commerce, commercial and events; for fashion and shows we book in Vantaa, Espoo and Tallinn as well.
