Become a model in Oldham
Want to become a model in Oldham? ROW ONE accepts applications from Oldham 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 Oldham
Models from Oldham work in the city, in Manchester, Salford and Stockport and, for campaigns and shows, in London, Birmingham and Manchester. Travel costs to productions are paid by the client, never by you.
The agency grew out of THE GOOD STAFF, which has staffed events for years. We know what clients book, and we only take models we can actually place. That is why the board is small and the jobs are real.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Oldham?
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?
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.
04Are there jobs in Oldham?
Yes. Clients in Oldham and in Manchester, Salford and Stockport book through us; campaigns and shows also take you to London, Birmingham and Manchester.
05Can I model part-time?
Yes. Many of our models study or work. Tell us your availability early and we book around it.
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.
07What happens at the first casting?
A conversation, polaroids, measurements, a short walk. It takes about an hour, by video or in person.
08Which photos should I send?
Phone photos are fine. We need to see you, not a production: daylight, neutral background, fitted clothes, no edits.
