Modeling work in Bremen
Bremen is a city-state in north-western Germany, on the river Weser. Of the 137 German agencies in our catalogue, two are here.
ZARTMODELS has its office on Osterdeich, the Weser embankment, in the Ostertor quarter. The agency is run by Carsten Leuner. On its website it says it represents beauty, fashion and commercial models as well as actors and character types. ZARTMODELS is on the member list of INCA DV, an association of casting and people agencies.
Wunschgesichter calls itself a people and model agency. Its office is on Tettenbornstraße in the Schwachhausen quarter, and it is run by Dela Jaekel and Francesca Smith. Besides model bookings, the agency offers styling, hair and make-up, set management and location scouting. Its application form is on its own website.
Both agencies work mostly for commercial clients, that is, for advertising and film productions. Both are listed on the pages commercial and talent.

How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- For advertising and film work in the region, the local agencies fit; for fashion work, pick a few agencies in Hamburg or Berlin and only travel once you have been invited to meet.
- Apply through each agency's official channels. A genuine agency does not charge for signing you, for a Sedcard or for a shoot; being asked to pay is a sign of a modeling scam.
- Contracts, commission, tax and the rules for minors are covered in the guide Modeling agencies in Germany.
