Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Oberhausen?
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?
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 happens at the first casting?
A conversation, polaroids, measurements, a short walk. It takes about an hour, by video or in person.
05Do I have to come to Frankfurt?
Only if it suits you. From Oberhausen the interview happens online, polaroids follow our guide, castings take place where the jobs are.
06Can I apply at 30, 40 or 50?
Yes. Classic models are in demand for commercial, corporate and healthcare productions; there is no upper age limit.
07Which 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.
08Can I model part-time?
Part-time works well, especially for e-commerce and commercial jobs, which are usually day productions.
