Become a model in Zaanstad
Want to become a model in Zaanstad? ROW ONE accepts applications from Zaanstad and the surrounding area free of charge: four natural photos, your measurements and contact details are enough. You hear from us either way, and we meet by video call or at a casting nearby. No fees, no courses, jobs in fashion, commercial, e-commerce and shows.
Why Zaanstad
Models from Zaanstad work in the city, in Amsterdam, Haarlem and Hoofddorp and, for campaigns and shows, in Rotterdam and 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 Zaanstad?
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.
04Which photos should I send?
Phone photos are fine. We need to see you, not a production: daylight, neutral background, fitted clothes, no edits.
05Do you also represent men?
Yes. The board has a men's division with the same categories: fashion, commercial, classic.
06Can I apply at 30, 40 or 50?
Absolutely. Clients book faces of all ages, and the classic category is one of our busiest.
07What happens at the first casting?
We talk about your availability and goals, take polaroids and measurements, and explain the next steps. No test shoot, no fee.
08From what age can I apply?
From 18 without further ado, from 16 with parental consent. There is no upper limit: classic models over 40 are in demand.
