Become a model
Become a model in Ostrava
Becoming a model in Ostrava 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 Ostrava, in the region and across Europe.
Why Ostrava
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.
ROW ONE is the model agency of THE GOOD STAFF, based in Frankfurt. We book models for productions across Europe, including Ostrava and the region, and we are open to applicants who have never modelled before.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Ostrava?
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.
04Do 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 plane or train.
05Do you also represent men?
Yes. The board has a men's division with the same categories: fashion, commercial, classic.
06What happens at the first casting?
We talk about your availability and goals, take polaroids and measurements, and explain the next steps. No test shoot, no fee.
07Will 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.
08Can I model part-time?
Yes. Many of our models study or work. Tell us your availability early and we book around it.
