How LocalFocal Works
The easiest way to discover and connect with photographers, videographers, hair & makeup artists, and creative spaces near you.
For Clients
Browse
Search photographers, videographers, hair & makeup artists, and rentable locations by specialty, style, location, and budget.
Request a Booking
Select a service, pick a date, and send a booking request to the creative. They'll confirm availability and you can message back and forth to finalize all the details.
Experience & Receive
Meet your creative, enjoy your session, and receive your finished deliverables, photos, video, or a flawless look for your big day.
For Creatives
List Your Services
Let us do the heavy lifting and bring clients your way, with no cost to list or advertise. It's like paying a salesperson a commission, except all you do is list your work and respond to people. You set your own prices and keep full control.
Get Booked
Clients discover you, review your work, and request bookings directly. You control your availability, confirm each request, and send custom quotes, all on your terms.
Receive Payment
No upfront cost. LocalFocal keeps a 20% platform fee only when you get paid, and only on the initial booking with each client. Once the client pays to confirm your booking, whether that's a package, session fee, or hourly rate, your earnings are on their way to you. *
Earn Perks by Referring
Share your unique referral link with other creatives. Each successful referral drops your platform fee to 10% on your next booking, so keep referring to keep saving.
Become one of our first Founding Members 🏅 *
We're just getting started, and we're fine-tuning the platform with help from our earliest members. If you're joining now, we'd love your feedback, your questions, and a little patience as we grow. As our thank-you for helping us build LocalFocal, our first 50 Founding Members get a reduced 10% platform fee on their first 5 bookings instead of the standard 20%. Listing is always free, and we only earn when you earn.* The platform fee applies one time to the initial booking with each client, however you structure your pricing (hourly, session fee, half/full day, or package). Any sales between you and that client after the initial booking, including prints, albums, add-on sessions, or repeat bookings, are entirely yours. LocalFocal never takes a commission on them.
