Become a model
Become a model in Karlsruhe
Want to become a model in Karlsruhe? ROW ONE accepts applications from Karlsruhe 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 Karlsruhe
Models from Karlsruhe work in the city, in Pforzheim, Heidelberg and Ludwigshafen and, for campaigns and shows, in Berlin, Hamburg and Munich. Travel costs to productions are paid by the client, never by you.
Our board is diverse: fashion, commercial and classic, women and men from 16 to over 60. If you are not sure whether you fit, apply anyway; we would rather look twice than miss a face.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Karlsruhe?
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.
04Can I apply at 30, 40 or 50?
Absolutely. Clients book faces of all ages, and the classic category is one of our busiest.
05What 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.
06Do I have to be exclusive with ROW ONE?
You decide. Some models are exclusive with us, others are not; both work.
07From what age can I apply?
From 18 directly. Between 16 and 17 with your parents' consent; we contact them before the first casting.
08Will I hear back?
We read every application in Karlsruhe and answer each one, with a clear yes or no.
