Who books individual headshots

For anyone whose image precedes them

Executives, directors, non-executive board members, lawyers, financial advisers, management consultants, coaches, and entrepreneurs book individual headshots for one reason: their professional image is visible before they are. A headshot appears on a company website team page, a LinkedIn profile, a press and media kit, a speaker bio, a board pack, an investor presentation, or an annual report. In each of those contexts, it is doing a job before the person walks into the room, joins the call, or takes the stage.

At a senior level, the gap between a strong image and a weak one is immediately noticeable. Investors, journalists, clients, and potential employers form an impression in seconds. A photograph taken on a phone in poor light, or a corporate headshot from five years and two roles ago, signals something, even if it is unintentional. A well-executed portrait signals the same care and attention that the professional applies to everything else they do.

The studio is at the Saltcircle Building in Woodstock, Cape Town. Clients come from the CBD, the V&A Waterfront, the Southern Suburbs, and Stellenbosch. Sessions are compact and focused, with no unnecessary ceremony. On-set direction and real-time screen review are built in precisely because most executives and senior professionals dislike being photographed. The session is designed to get around that discomfort, not ignore it.

What to expect

A session designed to get you comfortable quickly

Most people feel self-conscious in front of a camera. That is the starting point for every session. The studio is set up before you arrive, so the session itself is focused entirely on you, not the equipment.

On-set direction covers posture, expression, and positioning. Images are reviewed on a large screen as we work, so adjustments happen in real time. You leave knowing what the final selection looks like, not guessing.

Edited images are delivered within two working days to a private download link. Web resolution for online use and full-resolution print files are both included.

Common questions

Before your session

What should I wear?

Business or business casual, consistent with how you present yourself professionally. Avoid very fine stripes, busy patterns, and large logos. A plain, well-fitted top in a neutral or brand-aligned colour works well. Bring a second option if you are unsure.

Where is the studio?

The studio is at the Saltcircle Building, 19 Kent Street, Woodstock, Cape Town. Parking is available on the street.

How long does the session take?

The Professional Essential session runs approximately 20 minutes. The Executive Standard session runs 45 minutes and includes time for multiple looks and a brief review of selects before you leave.

How do I receive my images?

Edited images are delivered via a private download link within two working days of the session. Full resolution files suitable for both web and print are included.

Can I request specific retouching?

Standard retouching is included: skin smoothing, blemish removal, and light cleanup. Specific requests are noted during or after the session and applied as part of the standard delivery.

Can I come to the studio on my own, without a booking from my employer?

Yes. Individual sessions are open to anyone. You can book directly via the contact form or by emailing jurgen@jurgen.co.za.

"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. This is beautiful human art. Professional, fun, and spot on."

Margaux Giannaros

Portrait client

"Jürgen has a great eye for quickly and accurately capturing moments and individuals in a professional workspace. We have worked closely for many years and I have no hesitation in recommending him as a skilled photographer who accommodates busy schedules and is an all-round great guy to work with."
