Castings take place by video call, in our rooms in Frankfurt or at the production site; jobs come up in Manchester, in the region and across Europe.
Why Manchester
ROW ONE is the model agency of THE GOOD STAFF, based in Frankfurt. We book models for productions across Europe, including Manchester and the region, and we are open to applicants who have never modelled before.
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.

Manchester in numbers
Why Manchester
Publishers and broadcasters in Manchester book models for editorials and programmes, often at short notice. If you live in Manchester and are flexible, you will be asked often.
Online retailers and studios in Manchester produce looks every day. E-commerce jobs are predictable, paid per day and ideal for models who work alongside studies or a job.
For models from Manchester, jobs in the city and in the region are close together; campaigns and shows in London and Birmingham add to the mix.
Travel and support
Applicants from United Kingdom are welcome. From Manchester everything up to the first casting happens online; jobs are in United Kingdom and in Germany, with travel paid by the client.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Manchester?
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.
04Can I apply at 30, 40 or 50?
Absolutely. Clients book faces of all ages, and the classic category is one of our busiest.
05Will 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.
06Which photos should I send?
Phone photos are fine. We need to see you, not a production: daylight, neutral background, fitted clothes, no edits.
07Can I model part-time?
Yes. Many of our models study or work. Tell us your availability early and we book around it.
08Will 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.
