Nicola Auckland is a Business & Brand Photographer with a passion for the relationships formed between business owners, customer and brands.

After her corporate career ended during Covid, she turned her profitable side-hustle into fully fledged wedding photography business. Whilst she loved this, she knew something wasn't quite right (and it had little to do with the number of Ed Sheeran songs she had to listen to!) In January 2023 she took the decision to pivot her business, completely cut off her numerous wedding leads and exclusively offer business and branding photography.

She now offers personal branding photography to solopreneurs, branding photography to small businesses and corporate headshots to larger companies who prefer to have a photographer on-site. she also offers e-commerce product photography in a studio setting for her business customers with an online store.

You can find out more by visiting her website and LinkedIn profile.

James West is the co-founder of ONLE Networking - the online business network for people who like people. He met his wife Kelly while networking and they built ONLE on the belief that most people can be trusted to network without the rules and protocols that get in the way of running a business.

Based on his own experiences, James believes that the secret power of networking is to provide business owners with access to the meaningful connections that are vital to good mental health.
