Become a model
Become a model in Vienna
Becoming a model in Vienna 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 Vienna, in the region and across Europe.
Why Vienna
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.
What we look for in Vienna: natural photos, honest measurements, time for castings and jobs. What we do not need: a portfolio, a course certificate or a fee. We take care of the first pictures ourselves.

Vienna in numbers
Why Vienna
Around the fashion week in Vienna we book line-ups for shows and presentations. For fashion models from Vienna it is the most important time of the year.
In a city the size of Vienna there are studios, agencies and productions all year. For models from the region that means regular castings, jobs without long journeys and the chance to work in e-commerce, commercial and fashion at the same time.
In the capital in Austria models are booked for editorial, advertising and events; demand is broad, and so is the competition. We place selectively, not in bulk.
Travel and support
Vienna is 598 kilometres from Frankfurt, reachable by plane or train. We work with models across Austria; interview and polaroids happen by video, castings in the region or on set.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Vienna?
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.

We read every application in Vienna and answer each one, with a clear yes or no.
05Are there jobs in Vienna?
Vienna and the region offer jobs in e-commerce, commercial and events; for fashion and shows we book in Graz, Linz and Bratislava as well.
06What about my photos and data?
Application photos are stored in private storage, not on the website, and deleted if we do not take you on. Board photos are published only with your consent.
07Can I apply at 30, 40 or 50?
Absolutely. Clients book faces of all ages, and the classic category is one of our busiest.
08Will I get a comp card?
Your comp card is generated from your board profile and available as a PDF to every client.
