Modeling work in Augsburg
Augsburg is Bavaria's third-largest city. Our catalogue lists one agency here, MODELagentur by Streetworker. It is run by the firm Streetworker e.K. (owner Marco Licht), which also works as a photo and event agency; its office and studio are on Steingasse.
The agency says it wants to give new models, over three years, the knowledge to work independently afterwards, and it acts as a mother agency. Its application page gives a monthly contribution of €15 for the programme and the chance of a scholarship, while workshops, coaching and shooting trips are sold separately. This is a paid service, so before you agree, compare it with agencies that take no money from applicants. You will find its boards on the pages women, men and new faces.

How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- Only travel to an agency once you have been invited to meet. If you are aiming for fashion work, also apply to a few agencies in Munich, Hamburg or Berlin.
- The catalogue lists every agency that represents models and does not vouch for them. Before you apply, check on the agency's profile whether it charges applicants (for Sedcard photos, an annual file fee or courses) and how much, and compare it with others. German placement law forbids advance payments. Watch for pressure to sign on the spot, mass castings in hotels and contracts that renew themselves; we cover these in the entry on modeling scams.
- Contracts, commission, tax and the rules for minors are covered in the guide Modeling agencies in Germany.
