I had a great experience with Jurgen 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. Highly recommend Jurgen for anyone looking for a skilled photographer.

My experience with Jürgen could not have been better! Not only did he nail the brief completely, but we had so much fun. His passion for photography is admirable, and it shows in the feeling that comes through in the pictures. He also connected me to a superb make-up artist. I know AI is the trend these days - but in my opinion nothing compares...especially at this price. This is beautiful human art. Professional, fun and spot on!

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear for my session?

For a modern corporate look, we recommend solid colours (navy, charcoal, black, or deep jewel tones) and well-fitted layers. Avoid busy patterns or large logos. For our Cape Town corporate clients, a tailored blazer often strikes the perfect balance between professional and approachable. We send a full Style Guide immediately after booking.

How do professional headshots compare to AI-generated headshots?

AI headshot tools can produce a quick result, but they often get lighting, skin tones, and proportions wrong, and they can't capture your actual presence or personality. A professional studio session gives you images that are authentically you, with expert lighting, real-time coaching, and natural retouching. For corporate use, where your headshot appears on company websites, LinkedIn, and internal communications, authenticity matters. People want to meet the person they see in the photo.

Do you offer hair and makeup?

Yes. We work with Cape Town's top commercial makeup artists who understand "camera-ready" styling. You can add professional hair and makeup to any Executive or Personal Branding package during the booking process.

Where is the studio located?

Our studio is based in Woodstock, Cape Town, just 5 minutes from the CBD. We have secure, off-street parking, making it easy for busy executives to drop in between meetings.

Can you retouch my photos to look natural?

Absolutely. Our "Authentic Retouching" philosophy means we remove temporary blemishes (razor burn, spots) and soften skin texture, but we never alter your bone structure or make you look "plastic." You will look like you on your best day.
