Become a model in Turku
Becoming a model in Turku 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 Turku, in the region and across Europe.
Why Turku
Applying from Turku is simple: four photos, measurements, contact details. You hear from us with a clear yes or no and, if yes, a date for a video call.
Our board is diverse: fashion, commercial and classic, women and men from 16 to over 60. If you are not sure whether you fit, apply anyway; we would rather look twice than miss a face.

Why Turku
If you live in Turku, you will mostly work in the region and travel to Helsinki for campaigns and shows. Travel costs are paid by the client.
Models from smaller cities like Turku are on our board too. Jobs come from regional companies and from the larger cities nearby, Espoo, Tampere and Helsinki among them.

Applicants from Finland are welcome. From Turku everything up to the first casting happens online; jobs are in Finland and in Germany, with travel paid by the client.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Turku?
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?
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.
04Will I hear back?
With a clear yes or no, once we have looked at your photos. If yes, we propose a date for the video call.
05Are there jobs in Turku?
Yes. Clients in Turku and in Espoo, Tampere and Helsinki book through us; campaigns and shows also take you to Helsinki.
06Which photos should I send?
Four natural photos: face front, face profile, full body front, full body side. Daylight, plain clothes, no make-up, no filters.
07Do I have to come to Frankfurt?
Not for the application. The first conversation is a video call; castings happen in the region or in Frankfurt, reachable by plane or train.
08Will I get a comp card?
Your comp card is generated from your board profile and available as a PDF to every client.
