The Focus Hub: Why It Works So Well

What is the Focus Hub?

The Focus Hub is a monthly session started by Amanda Hall Photography in 2022. It brings together like-minded business owners for a couple of hours each month, helping them feel confident in front of the camera. This initiative provides entrepreneurs with the opportunity to connect, network, and get photographed in a professional yet relaxed environment, showcasing their businesses and building a strong personal brand.

Why Does the Focus Hub Work So Well?

1. Community and Networking:

  • Connection with Peers: The Focus Hub creates a supportive community of entrepreneurs. Participants can share experiences, advice, and support, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie.
  • Diverse Mix of Businesses: The sessions attract a variety of professionals, from business coaches and graphic designers to psychotherapists and social media managers. This diversity encourages cross-industry networking and potential collaborations.

2. Confidence Building:

  • Comfort in Front of the Camera: Many business owners feel awkward being photographed. The Focus Hub's relaxed setting helps participants feel at ease, making the photography experience enjoyable and natural.
  • Realistic Scenarios: By photographing participants as if they are interacting with their ideal clients, the images resonate more with their audience, making their marketing more authentic and engaging.

3. High-Quality Marketing Material:

  • Professional Photos: Each session provides participants with 15 high-resolution, edited images. These can be used across various marketing platforms, enhancing the visual appeal of their business profiles.
  • Versatile Locations: Sessions are held at different interesting locations around Essex and London, adding variety to the participants' photo collections and keeping their marketing materials fresh and dynamic.

4. Tailored Experience:

  • Personalized Preparation: Amanda Hall ensures that each participant is well-prepared for their session. The more information participants provide, the better the photographer can tailor the experience to meet their specific needs.
  • Flexible Participation: While ongoing participation is recommended for the best value and diverse imagery, there is also an option for a one-day drop-in session. This flexibility accommodates different needs and budgets.

5. Efficient and Enjoyable Process:

  • Streamlined Sessions: The two-hour sessions include a brief meet and greet, followed by photographing participants in action. The quiet camera settings ensure that the experience is unobtrusive and relaxed.
  • Quick Turnaround: Edited images are delivered within 1-2 weeks, allowing participants to quickly update their marketing materials.

Amanda is not your standard photographer. Right from the outset from our initial appointment to the documentation I had to fill in, she was very thorough, professional and I can honestly say a lovely person to work with. The outcome from our photography session was outstanding; I am absolutely over the moon with my photos. I would not hesitate to recommend Amanda going forward.

I was fortunate enough to work with Amanda as part of one of her brand focus groups. I’ve never felt particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but Amanda captured so many shots which perfectly reflected my personality and brand story. One of the shots from our very first session was used in Woman’s Weekly just a month later

FAQs

Can I attend only one session?

While it’s recommended to attend three sessions over six months for the best value and diverse images, a one-day drop-in session is also available. This option provides a taste of the Focus Hub experience with a smaller selection of images.

Sessions are located around Essex and London, with frequent updates and new locations being added. Previous locations include Liverpool St, Hatcham House, Carly Kent Skin Specialist clinic, The Crate, and Wanstead Works.

The Focus Hub hosts a variety of local businesses, including business coaches, graphic designers, hat makers, psychotherapists, life coaches, social media managers, financial advisors, and HR experts.

The two-hour session starts with a 15-minute meet and greet, followed by photographing participants in action. The relaxed atmosphere helps everyone feel comfortable, resulting in natural and engaging photos.

Participants access a private gallery to choose their 15 edited images, which are delivered via WeTransfer within 1-2 weeks.
