Become a model in Modena
Becoming a model in Modena 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 Modena, in the region and across Europe.
Why Modena
Modena is 630 kilometres from our Frankfurt office, reachable by plane or train. The first conversation happens by video call; castings and polaroids are done in the region or in Frankfurt, depending on what is easier for 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.

If you live in Modena, you will mostly work in the region and travel to Rome, Milan and Turin for campaigns and shows. Travel costs are paid by the client.
Models from smaller cities like Modena are on our board too. Jobs come from regional companies and from the larger cities nearby, Reggio nell'Emilia, Bologna and Parma among them.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Modena?
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.
04Which 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.
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.
06Can I model part-time?
Part-time works well, especially for e-commerce and commercial jobs, which are usually day productions.
07From what age can I apply?
From 18 without further ado, from 16 with parental consent. There is no upper limit: classic models over 40 are in demand.
08Will 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.
