Company mission

Enabling everyone to book a great photographer affordably, in the easiest way possible.

Our take

Booking a photographer can be difficult: the marketplace is crowded, inconsistent and confusing. Perfocal aims to overturn this by making photographers more accessible, on demand.

For efficiency, Perfocal automatically matches clients with a photographer based on their needs and the photographer’s experience, location, and availability. The company is also quick to meet customer demand: as a result of events in recent years, Perfocal has introduced contactless photoshoots alongside a more generous cancellation policy.

The company continues to enhance its operations in the UK. To reach the next stages of growth, it may need to look beyond familiar shores and leverage its technology in overseas markets.
