Become a model in Jena
Becoming a model in Jena starts at ROW ONE with four photos and your measurements. The application takes five minutes, application and admission are free, and we answer every application. Castings take place by video call, in our rooms in Frankfurt or at the production site; jobs come up in Jena, in the region and across Europe.
Why Jena
What we look for in Jena: 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.
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.

Jena in numbers
Why Jena
Models from smaller cities like Jena are on our board too. Jobs come from regional companies and from the larger cities nearby, Gera, Erfurt and Halle (Saale) among them.
If you live in Jena, 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.
Travel and support
Castings and polaroid sessions for applicants from Jena usually take place in Frankfurt, reachable by train or car in under two hours. Jobs in the Rhine-Main region come up regularly, often without overnight stays.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Jena?
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?
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.
04What does a model earn?
Fees are agreed per job and paid after the production. We negotiate the rate, you see the figures before you accept.
05Do you also represent men?
Men are welcome; many jobs in Jena and in the region are for mixed line-ups.
06Can I model part-time?
Part-time works well, especially for e-commerce and commercial jobs, which are usually day productions.
07Will I get a comp card?
Yes, once you are on the board. The comp card is produced by us, free of charge, and updated with every new set of pictures.
08Do I have to be exclusive with ROW ONE?
You decide. Some models are exclusive with us, others are not; both work.
