Become a model
Become a model in Oulu
Want to become a model in Oulu? ROW ONE accepts applications from Oulu 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 Oulu
Models from Oulu work in the city, in Kuopio, Jyväskylä and Umeå and, for campaigns and shows, in Helsinki. 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 Oulu?
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.
04What 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.
05Can I apply at 30, 40 or 50?
Absolutely. Clients book faces of all ages, and the classic category is one of our busiest.
06Are there jobs in Oulu?
Oulu and the region offer jobs in e-commerce, commercial and events; for fashion and shows we book in Helsinki as well.
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.
08Do you also represent men?
Yes. The board has a men's division with the same categories: fashion, commercial, classic.
