Introduction

I’m Jürgen Banda-Hansmann, a professional corporate photographer based in Woodstock, Cape Town. Since founding Jürgen’s Photography in 2007, I have helped businesses enhance their visual presence through high-impact corporate headshots, dynamic event coverage, and strategic branding imagery.

With over 17 years of dedicated experience and 25+ years living in the Mother City, I bring deep local insight and technical precision to every shoot. I am also a native German speaker, allowing me to comfortably assist both local and international clients.

My Approach: Collaborative & Efficient

  • Consultation: We start with an in-depth conversation or site visit to understand your brand context.

  • Tethered Shooting: For headshots and branding, I utilise tethered shooting. This allows us to review images together in real-time on a laptop, ensuring we capture the perfect shot before the session ends.

  • Relaxed Environment: I create a comfortable atmosphere that allows genuine personalities to shine—crucial for authentic corporate portraits.

The Journey Behind the Camera

My fascination with photography began at age six in Germany. This passion evolved into a professional pursuit during my university studies and led to the founding of Jürgen’s Photography in Cape Town in 2007.

What drives me? It’s the “wow” moment when a client sees their portrait and realizes how professional they look. It is knowing that capturing the “small things” can genuinely change how a business is perceived.

Beyond the Lens

ased in Cape Town for over 25 years, I find constant inspiration in the city’s energy. When I’m not behind the camera or editing in my Woodstock studio, you’ll find me running (occasionally a half marathon) or baking.
