Introduction

I’m Jürgen Banda-Hansmann, a professional corporate photographer based in beautiful Cape Town. With over 17 years of dedicated experience, I specialise in creating impactful images—including corporate portraits, professional headshots, dynamic event coverage, and strategic branding photography—that help businesses across Cape Town and the Western Cape enhance their visual presence. Fluent in both English and German (native speaker), I comfortably assist local and international clients.

More Than Just a Photograph: My Journey

My fascination with capturing the world through a lens began young, receiving my first camera around age six. This lifelong passion evolved into a professional pursuit when I started freelancing during my university studies in Germany.

 

In 2007, I founded Jürgen’s Photography in Cape Town to follow my passion and bring a unique perspective to business visuals. What drives me every day? It’s the ‘wow’ moment when people are amazed about their portraits, the positive impact my images make for my clients and their business, and knowing that capturing the ‘small things’ can genuinely change how people see themselves or remember significant events.

 

When I started my journey in corporate photography, I saw the opportunity to bring in my experience of the corporate world and help clients achieve their goals for their visuals.

Collaborative & Client-Focused: How I Work

My goal is to make the photography process seamless, enjoyable, and highly effective for you. I believe the best results stem from a truly collaborative partnership. This often starts with an in-depth conversation upfront, asking for brand manuals where appropriate, and sometimes includes a site visit to fully understand the context and your specific goals. Creating a comfortable and relaxed environment is key, especially for portraits and headshots, as it allows genuine personalities to shine through. My approach is flexible and tailored, adapting to your unique needs. For immediate feedback and assurance during many sessions, I utilise tethered shooting, allowing us to review images together in real-time.

 

This ensures the final photographs perfectly match your vision before the session even ends.

Beyond the Lens

Based in the beautiful city of Cape Town for over 25 years, I find constant inspiration here. When I’m not behind the camera, I enjoy staying active through running – occasionally participating in a half marathon – and unwinding by cooking or baking. I am fluent in both English and German (native speaker).
