Modeling work in Essen
Essen is one of the largest cities in the Ruhr area, between Dusseldorf and Dortmund. Our catalogue lists one agency here, DIVERGANCY Models. It is a two-owner partnership, Temel & Sawatzki GbR, with an office on Weserstraße in the Bergerhausen district.
On its website the agency calls itself an agency for extraordinary faces and talents. Its board includes women, men, non-binary, older and curve models, so people who do not match standard fashion board measurements are welcome here too. Our guide to the types of modeling explains the different boards and their requirements.

How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- Send natural, unretouched pictures with your application: the agency needs to see how you look in real life.
- 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.
