What happens at Gosee Studio on 7th May

The day at CM Studio Gosee is no ordinary casting session. It combines two high-profile productions under one roof – and that is exactly what makes it so special for everyone who is taking their first steps as a model. On one side, the current New Faces from Hamburg will be cast and photographed by one of the agency’s favourite photographers. On the other side, the cover of issue #22 of the fashion magazine FIV will be created – with one of Germany’s most followed TikTok stars in front of the camera.

Experiencing the energy level of such a production day is invaluable for aspiring models. You see how a professional set operates, how lighting is set up, and how communication between the photographer, stylist and model takes place – and you’re right in the middle of it, not just watching from the sidelines. Anyone wishing to apply to a model agency in Hamburg gets a real insight into the daily business on this day.

The FIV Magazin Cover Shoot

FIV Magazin is one of the best-known German fashion magazines in the digital space. Issue #22 will be designed with a TikTok face who brings millions of followers – this means maximum professionalism at every level for the shoot. Anyone present in the studio on that day will see up close how a professional shoot for the model portfolio is prepared and executed. This is pure insider knowledge.

New Faces Shoot with Agency Photographer

At the same time, the new Hamburg faces of the agency are cast and photographed on site. This means: application photos are created immediately within the context of real agency work. For everyone who wants to know how to properly prepare for a casting, it’s a masterclass in practice.

Who can apply – Girl, Boy, Diverse

CM Models consciously seeks broad diversity. The casting is open to all genders and all looks – and this is not a marketing promise, but lived agency policy. Whether classic editorial face, streetwear type or unique niche look: anyone with an interesting presence and a willingness to learn has real chances.

Minimum height and measurements – what really counts

Many potential applicants fail at the thought of being asked about their body measurements. However, the requirements are more varied than often assumed. Those who are familiar with the classic model measurements and requirements know that there are different categories. The criteria for high-fashion jobs differ from those for commercial or curvy modelling. Find out also about the minimum height at modelling agencies – and which modelling agencies without a minimum height operate.

Those who wish to start out in the curvy sector will also find a home at CM Models. As a curvy model, there are now more opportunities than ever – from magazine shoots to large campaigns for international brands.

Without classic measurements: Plus Size and Larger Sizes

The plus-size models segment is growing continuously. CM Models reflects this market and is actively searching for faces beyond the classic size 34/36. If you fit into this category and have always known you belong in front of the camera – this day is your chance.

Open to all genders
Girls, Boys and Diverse are welcome
Different categories: Editorial, Curvy, Commercial
No age discrimination for new faces
Naturalness and personality decide

How to prepare optimally

A casting day is no accident – preparation makes all the difference. Who knows what the basic requirements for being a model are, and prepares well, stands out clearly from the crowd. Here are the most important to-dos before you go to the Gosee Studio on 7th May:

The perfect casting checklist

☐ Submit your application online in advance
☐ Prepare current, natural photos
☐ Know your measurements: height, clothing size, shoe size
☐ Clothing: clean, body-hugging, no prints
☐ Hair: loose or naturally tied back
☐ Make-up: minimal to none (natural look)
☐ Punctuality – better 15 minutes early
☐ Pack confidence – show who you are
☐ Bring references or a model portfolio
☐ Note down questions you want to ask

Why a casting with CM Models is different

CM Models is one of the agencies that work transparently and fairly. A casting at CM Models means: no hidden costs, no upfront fees, no empty promises. Anyone who wants to know whether an agency is legitimate should be aware of the criteria of a reputable modelling agency – and CM Models meets them. For orientation, it’s also worth taking a look at the Top 10 modelling agencies in the German-speaking region.

Another important point: modelling agencies that ask for money are generally a warning sign. At CM Models, the principle applies: modelling agency without fees – earning comes through work, not through advance payments.

What can happen after the casting

Those selected start directly in the New-Faces-Pool of the agency. This means access to real jobs – from local campaigns through magazine photo shoots to first steps on the runway and catwalk. For exceptional talents, international markets also open up in the long term: whether model agency Berlin, becoming a model in Frankfurt, becoming a model in London or becoming a model in New York – the journey often begins with a single day like this one.

Wer zudem überlegt, zunächst nebenberuflich zu modeln, bekommt bei CM Models realistische Einschätzungen darüber, wie sich das mit Schule, Studium oder Job vereinbaren lässt. Und wer noch nicht weiß, was ein Model verdient, sollte sich das unbedingt vorab informieren – Transparenz ist hier alles.

Hamburg as a modelling location and what it means for your career

Hamburg is one of the most important fashion and media locations in Germany. Anyone starting out here benefits from a vibrant creative scene, strong advertising clients and an established agency landscape. The city has access to the Berlin Fashion Week and is also a springboard for the Big 4 Fashion Weeks worldwide – from the New York Fashion Week through the Milan Fashion Week and the Paris Fashion Week to the London Fashion Week.

The connection to the German creative scene should not be underestimated. German fashion designers are actively looking for fresh faces from Hamburg – and a good casting with CM Models can open exactly these doors. Whoever knows how to contact a modelling agency properly has an advantage over the competition anyway.

Frequently asked questions about the casting on 7th May

Do I need to register in advance or can I just turn up?

Pre-registration is strongly recommended so the team can plan the day optimally. You can apply directly via the CM Models application page. A short-term on-site presentation is also possible to a limited extent, but without pre-registration there is no guarantee of a time slot.

What photos should I bring?

It is best to bring recent, natural photos – no professional studio is necessary. It is important that your face is clearly visible, once frontally and once sideways. Anyone who already has a model portfolio for the casting should bring it along. Smartphone photos of good quality are completely sufficient for the first impression.

Are there any costs for the casting or the photoshoots?

No. CM Models operates on the principle of a model agency without fees. The casting itself is free of charge, and the photoshoots for the New-Faces-Pool are also not linked to advance payments. Anyone who is still unsure should know the characteristics of a reputable model agency before signing.

What happens if I don’t have the classic model measurements?

This is not an exclusion criterion. CM Models deliberately looks for a variety of looks and categories. Anyone who sees themselves as a Curvy Model, as a plus-size model or in another niche is explicitly invited to apply. The requirements for modelling are broader than ever – what matters most is personality, presence and the willingness to learn.
