Why Porto
You live in Porto and want to work as a model? ROW ONE is looking for new faces across Portugal: for fashion, commercial, e-commerce and shows. You do not need experience, but you do need reliability. The application takes five minutes and costs nothing.
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 Porto?
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?
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?
We talk about your availability and goals, take polaroids and measurements, and explain the next steps. No test shoot, no fee.
05Can I model part-time?
Part-time works well, especially for e-commerce and commercial jobs, which are usually day productions.
06Will I get a comp card?
Your comp card is generated from your board profile and available as a PDF to every client.
07Will I hear back?
We read every application in Porto and answer each one, with a clear yes or no.
08Do you also represent men?
Yes. The board has a men's division with the same categories: fashion, commercial, classic.
