Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Riga?
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.
04What does a model earn?
Day rates depend on the category and the usage: e-commerce days at the lower end, campaigns with buyouts at the upper end. Our commission is stated in the contract.
05Do I have to be exclusive with ROW ONE?
You decide. Some models are exclusive with us, others are not; both work.
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.
07Are there jobs in Riga?
Yes. Clients in Riga and in Kaunas, Klaipėda and Vilnius book through us; campaigns and shows also take you to Kaunas, Klaipėda and Vilnius.
08Will I get a comp card?
Your comp card is generated from your board profile and available as a PDF to every client.
