WHAT OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS SAY

FocalAgent work fits in with my lifestyle, I’ve been freelance for 30 years and it’s a great way to fill in the gaps or if you want to build a career out of it. There is lots of flexibility and no pressure. You can take what jobs you want to do and you don’t get penalised if you don’t take a job.

Working with focal is just amazing! The opportunity to pretty much be your own boss while doing something I love is just a dream really. Creating beautiful content and visiting amazing places while meeting interesting people! Us photographers we get to do what we love day in day out while knowing that there’s a whole team behind us for anything we might need! And the flexibility is great too! I I have 2 little boys (a 3 year old and a 5 year old ????) so being able to organise my day around my family or other commitments is also great! Ive been with focal since December 2018 and honestly its getting better and better every day. Its fantastic to see focal grow and I feel privileged that I grow with focal too! I would describe focal agent as the leading property marketing agency in the uk by far!

All we need from you is a very basic hand drawn sketch, we take care of the professional drawing. More information can be found on our YouTube playlist.

When ordering, the keyholder has the option to choose time slots they’ll be available; this will make it easier for you to book in jobs.
