Modeling work in Dortmund
Dortmund is the largest city in the Ruhr area. Our catalogue lists one agency here, Kelly Faces. It is run by Karin Kelly, and its office is on Hafenpromenade in the Hörde district.
On its website Kelly Faces describes itself as an owner-run agency offering models and event promotion staff. We include it in the catalogue because it has separate model boards: women, men, teens, curve and older models. At an agency with this profile most of the work is commercial: advertising, photo shoots and events.
The agency's boards in the catalogue: women's, men's, curve, senior and talent.

How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- For commercial work in the region a local agency fits; for fashion work, look at agencies in Dusseldorf, Hamburg or Berlin.
- Apply through the agency's official website. A genuine agency does not charge for applying or for a casting; being asked to pay for registration, a Sedcard or a compulsory shoot is a sign of a modeling scam.
- Contracts, commission, tax and the rules for minors are covered in the guide Modeling agencies in Germany.
