Become a model in York
Becoming a model in York 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 York, in the region and across Europe.
Why York
You live in York and want to work as a model? ROW ONE is looking for new faces across United Kingdom: for fashion, commercial, e-commerce and shows. You do not need experience, but you do need reliability. The application takes five minutes and costs nothing.
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 York?
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?
Nothing. We never charge for comp cards, photos or courses; if someone does, it is not us.
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.
04Do 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.
05Do you also represent men?
Men are welcome; many jobs in York and in the region are for mixed line-ups.
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.
07What happens at the first casting?
A conversation, polaroids, measurements, a short walk. It takes about an hour, by video or in person.
08Do 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.
