Hi, I am Birgitta!
International casting director, photographer,
casting camera posing expert, style consultant, agency owner, marketing and business consultant
Welcome! Join me and explore the world of modelling.
With over 30 years of experience in the fashion, casting, advertising and film industries, I know exactly what decision-makers want to see – and how you can make a convincing impression in front of the camera. My career took me from Germany to Australia and then to the USA, where I worked with international productions, directors and brands, including a stint with renowned fashion designer JIL SANDER. I have cast countless talents, provided them with individual support and prepared them for major campaigns. My expertise ranges from casting international advertising campaigns to talent marketing and client and campaign consulting – with a global network and in-depth industry knowledge.
As the owner of MsGallagherCasting, AbsolutelyFabulousAgency and 1AManagement, I specialise in discovering and casting performers for international advertising campaigns, providing them with individual support and recommending them to clients for their campaigns. In addition, with itsYOU consulting, I offer tailor-made and individual consulting and support for career changers, models, actors, influencers and performers to prepare them optimally for their careers in front of the camera.
Now I am offering you the opportunity to become part of this exciting world. Are you keen and curious to conquer this world?
Anything is possible!
I look forward to seeing you!
Yours sincerely,
Birgitta Gallagher

What our clients say about us:
Alex, 51 years old, Commercial Model, IT specialist
He had already tried his hand at modelling as a hobby, but got stuck and couldn't get any jobs from his agency.
It was clear that he had the wrong photos in his portfolio. That was quickly changed. Thanks to our network of photographers, he now works as a professional model and is in demand at many agencies.
Mila, 53 years old, Commercial Model, Coach
Mila came to us as a complete beginner. She wanted to learn how to become a model. It worked!
Thanks to our extensive international agency network and our professional photographers, she is now impressing many professional agencies with her fantastic new photos, and is now working for them.
She now goes through life with a confident aura.
Mariola, 59 - BestAger Commercial Model
As a complete newcomer with no experience as a model, Mariola discovered her passion in front of the camera!
She has discovered her passion for photo shoots! She now knows how to take great photos and videos for her auditions and portfolio.

With a new hairstyle and look, she now shines as a model.
Petra, 72 - Best-Ager Model
She started out as an extra in 2023, but the leap to advertising model didn't work out on her own.
Thanks to our itsYOU strategy & marketing consulting, success came right away. Petra had two advertising shoots with Rossmann & McDonalds, which already earned her €5,300.
Rosa, 32 - Model
Rosa didn't want to keep trying things out on her own as a model either! With itsYOU consulting, she was able to improve her photo portfolio and auditions so much that she was finally booked for a car campaign and earned €25,000 for one day's work and numerous usage rights.
Nasibeh, 38 - Model
Thanks to our itsYOU marketing and strategy consulting services, Nasibeh was booked for her first e-casting for an advertising shoot and photo shoot for Fielmann and Samsung after just three weeks, earning over €6,500.
