Why headshots matter in financial services
Trust is built before the first meeting
In financial services, a prospective client has usually looked you up before you speak. Your LinkedIn profile, your firm's website, and your FSP registration profile all carry your headshot. That image is doing active work before you have had the chance to say anything. It signals credibility, experience, and the kind of professional you are.
For fund managers and asset managers, the headshot appears in factsheets, investor reports, and conference speaker profiles. For independent financial advisors and wealth managers, it is often the first impression a referred client will form. For CFOs and financial directors at listed companies, it appears in annual reports, press releases, and JSE filings.
The session is structured to produce an image that works across all of those contexts. The brief before every session covers how the image will be used, which informs the framing, the background, and the expression direction. The result is a headshot that is consistent with your professional positioning and works at every scale, from a LinkedIn thumbnail to a printed annual report.

Each team member receives two retouched images as standard, delivered within two working days.
| In-studio, 1 to 4 people | R 1,250 / person |
| In-studio, 5 or more | R 750 / person |

What to expect
Financial services headshots in Cape Town: what to expect at the studio
The studio is set up before you arrive. On-set direction covers posture, expression, and positioning, the things that are not obvious unless you photograph people professionally. Most financial professionals are not used to being on the other side of the camera. The session is structured to get you comfortable quickly.
Images are reviewed on a large screen as we work, so you see exactly what the final selection will look like before you leave. Adjustments happen in real time. You do not receive the images and then discover a problem.
Every session includes a reshoot commitment. If the result does not reflect what was discussed at the time of booking, a reshoot is arranged at no charge.

Common questions
Questions about financial services headshots in Cape Town
What should a financial services professional wear for their headshot?
Business attire consistent with how you present yourself to clients. For most financial professionals that means a suit, blazer, or tailored business jacket. Conservative, well-fitted clothing in navy, charcoal, white, or grey photographs best. Avoid fine stripes, which create a moiré effect on screen, and large logos or heavily branded items that can date the image.
Where is the studio?
The studio is at the Saltcircle Building, 19 Kent Street, Woodstock, Cape Town. Accessible from the CBD and Southern Suburbs. Street parking is generally available on Kent Street.
How long does a session take?
Studio sessions run up to one hour. There is no fixed clock. The session ends when you have the images you need. Sessions are designed to fit into a working day without disrupting your schedule.
How does the pricing work?
A R 1,500 session fee confirms your booking and covers the studio, equipment, coaching, and tethered live review. Each retouched image you select is then charged at R 400, including full retouching, full-resolution and web-optimised files, and a LinkedIn-ready crop variant. You pay only for the images you take.
Can you do headshots for our whole advisory team on-site?
Yes. On-site team sessions bring the full mobile studio to your office. A boardroom corner is all that is needed. The cost is R 4,500 base fee plus R 750 per person for teams of up to 14, with the base fee waived for groups of 15 to 30 at R 750 per person. Every team member receives two retouched images as standard.

Do you work with FSPs and wealth management firms regularly?

FSCA profiles, fund factsheets, LinkedIn, annual reports, and company websites all have specific requirements that are accounted for in how the session is structured.
