How to become a model in Denmark
Apply online to a Copenhagen agency through its own website, or go to Unique Models’ open casting on Fridays. Agencies ask for natural photos without make-up; Unique and Le Management say they reply within 14 days if interested. Children under 13 need a permit from the Danish Working Environment Authority, including for photo shoots.
