Become a model in Rotterdam
Becoming a model in Rotterdam 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 Rotterdam, in the region and across Europe.
Why Rotterdam
Models from Rotterdam work in the city, in Zoetermeer, Dordrecht and The Hague and, for campaigns and shows, in Amsterdam. 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 Rotterdam?
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.
04Are there jobs in Rotterdam?
Yes. Clients in Rotterdam and in Zoetermeer, Dordrecht and The Hague book through us; campaigns and shows also take you to Amsterdam.
05Do I have to be exclusive with ROW ONE?
No. Exclusivity is an option we discuss once you have worked with us; it is never a condition for admission.
06Do I have to come to Frankfurt?
Only if it suits you. From Rotterdam the interview happens online, polaroids follow our guide, castings take place where the jobs are.
07What 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.
08From what age can I apply?
From 18 directly. Between 16 and 17 with your parents' consent; we contact them before the first casting.
