Why your headshot matters
Your headshot is the first thing people see before they meet you
Most professionals update their headshot when something forces it. A new role, a speaking invitation, a press mention. By then the photo is already doing damage: a low-resolution image cropped from a group shot, or a photo that is several years out of date. In Cape Town's corporate sectors, where relationship-building is face to face, the gap between who you are and how you present online has a real cost.
A headshot session at the Woodstock studio takes 20 minutes for the Professional Essential, 45 minutes for the Executive Standard. On-set direction covers expression, posture, and positioning. Images are reviewed on a large screen as the session progresses, so you see the result before you leave. There is no guessing about what you are going to receive.

Where the images go
Cape Town headshots for LinkedIn, press, and business profiles
Before the session I ask which contexts the image will appear in over the next year. That shapes the shot selection and how the session is structured. The result is a set of images fit for every channel where your name appears, not a generic portrait adapted after the fact.
- LinkedIn profile and banner
- Company website and team pages
- Press releases and media enquiries
- Conference speaker bios
- Annual report and investor presentations
- Email signature and business profile

I had a great experience with Jürgen for my professional headshot. He's clearly passionate about his work, and it made the session quick and enjoyable. The final photo is exactly what I was hoping for. Professional and polished.

Headshots in Cape Town, common questions
How long does a headshot session take?
The Professional Essential session runs 20 minutes. The Executive Standard session runs 45 minutes, with time for multiple looks and a review of selects before you leave. Both sessions are structured to fit into a working day with minimal disruption. The Woodstock studio is set up and ready when you arrive. There is no setup time on your end.
Where is the studio?
The studio is at the Saltcircle Building, 19 Kent Street, Woodstock, Cape Town. It is accessible from the CBD, the Southern Suburbs, and the V&A Waterfront. Street parking is available on Kent Street.
What should I wear?
Business or business casual, consistent with how you present yourself professionally. Avoid fine stripes, busy patterns, and large logos. A plain, well-fitted top in a neutral or brand-aligned colour reads well. Bring a second option if you are unsure. The Executive Standard session has time to try both.
How are the images delivered?
Images are delivered as JPEG files at full resolution (minimum 3,000 pixels on the long edge), suitable for print, press, and presentations. A web-optimised version at 1,200 pixels is included for immediate online use. Files are individually named and sent via a private download link within two working days. TIFF files are available on request. Next-morning delivery is available at +R 500.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes, all sessions are booked in advance using the online calendar. Individual bookings are typically available within one to two weeks. If you need a session at short notice, send a message and I will check availability directly.
What if I need headshots for my whole team?
Team headshots use a different session format, with on-site and in-studio options. The mobile studio can come to your office for groups of five or more. Pricing starts at R 750 per person for groups of five or more.
