Become a model
Become a model in Reykjavík
Becoming a model in Reykjavík 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 Reykjavík, in the region and across Europe.
Why Reykjavík
Models from Reykjavík work in the city, in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Dundee and, for campaigns and shows, in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Dundee. 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.

Reykjavík in numbers
Why Reykjavík
As the capital, Reykjavík has agencies, media and brands that look for faces all the time: for campaigns, corporate productions and events. Models from Reykjavík often work across several categories.
Reykjavík produces commercials and series. For models from the city there are regular moving-image castings alongside photo jobs.
Hotels, destinations and lifestyle brands in Reykjavík book models for campaigns on location, often at short notice and in daylight. If you live in Reykjavík, you have an advantage.
Travel and support
Applicants from Iceland are welcome. From Reykjavík everything up to the first casting happens online; jobs are in Iceland and in Germany, with travel paid by the client.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Reykjavík?
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 Reykjavík?
Yes. Clients in Reykjavík and in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Dundee book through us; campaigns and shows also take you to Aberdeen, Glasgow and Dundee.
05Do I have to be exclusive with ROW ONE?
You decide. Some models are exclusive with us, others are not; both work.
06Will 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.
07Can I apply at 30, 40 or 50?
Absolutely. Clients book faces of all ages, and the classic category is one of our busiest.
08Do you also represent men?
