Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Mannheim?
Experience is not a requirement. What counts: four natural photos, correct measurements and the willingness to travel to castings and productions.
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.
04Are there jobs in Mannheim?
Mannheim and the region offer jobs in e-commerce, commercial and events; for fashion and shows we book in Berlin, Hamburg and Munich as well.
05Do I have to come to Frankfurt?
Not for the application. The first conversation is a video call; castings happen in the region or in Frankfurt, reachable by train or car in under two hours.
06Which 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.
07Will I get a comp card?
Your comp card is generated from your board profile and available as a PDF to every client.
08Can I model part-time?
Part-time works well, especially for e-commerce and commercial jobs, which are usually day productions.
