Professional headshot sessions in Cape Town, designed specifically for LinkedIn and business profiles.
Your LinkedIn headshot is often the first thing a potential client, employer, or collaborator sees. According to LinkedIn’s own data, profiles with a professional photo receive up to 21 times more views and 36 times more messages than those without.
But not just any photo will do. A cropped holiday snap or a poorly lit selfie sends the wrong message to the corporate contacts you are trying to impress. Your LinkedIn headshot should project confidence, approachability, and professionalism, all within a single frame.
A LinkedIn headshot works hardest when it follows a few key principles.
It looks like you. Your photo should be a current, accurate representation. When someone moves from your LinkedIn profile to a video call, there should be no disconnect.
It is professionally lit and composed. Even a simple headshot benefits enormously from controlled studio lighting. It draws attention to your face, eliminates unflattering shadows, and creates a clean, polished result that a phone camera simply cannot replicate.
It suits your industry. A headshot for a tech founder looks different to one for a corporate executive or a creative director. The background, outfit, and overall feel should reflect your professional context. During your session, I will advise on what works best for your field.
The background is clean. A simple, uncluttered background keeps the focus where it belongs: on you. I offer a range of studio backdrops as well as on-location options if you prefer an environmental setting.
1. Get in touch. Tell me what you need and I will recommend the right session for you. If you only need a single LinkedIn headshot, a focused 20-minute session is all it takes.
2. Prepare with confidence. Before your session, I will send you a preparation guide covering what to wear, grooming tips, and what to expect on the day.
3. Shoot in studio or on location. Sessions take place at my Woodstock studio or at your office anywhere in Cape Town. I shoot tethered so you can see the images as we go and we can refine together in real time.
4. Receive your retouched images. Your final headshot is professionally retouched, colour-corrected, and delivered in high resolution within 6 working days. You will also receive a web-optimised version sized specifically for LinkedIn’s profile photo dimensions.
Professional Essential | R1,950 20-minute session, 1 outfit, 1 retouched image. Studio only. Ideal if you need a single, polished LinkedIn headshot.
Standard Executive | R2,750 45-minute session, 2 outfits, 3 retouched images. Perfect if you want options for LinkedIn, your company website, and email signature.
Studio Branding Session | R4,950 90-minute session, 4+ outfits, 10 retouched images. Best for professionals who need a full library of images across LinkedIn, social media, press, and marketing.
All sessions include a pre-shoot consultation, professional retouching, and high-resolution digital delivery.
For reference, here are LinkedIn’s current image requirements for profile photos:
I deliver all LinkedIn headshots with a web-optimised crop that meets these specifications, along with the full high-resolution file for other uses.
How long does a LinkedIn headshot session take? A focused session takes just 20 minutes. If you opt for a longer session with multiple outfits, allow 45 to 90 minutes depending on the package.
What should I wear for my LinkedIn headshot? Wear what you would typically wear to an important meeting. Solid colours work best. Avoid busy patterns and large logos. I will send you a detailed preparation guide before your session.
Can I use the headshot for other platforms too? Absolutely. Your retouched image is delivered in high resolution and works across LinkedIn, company websites, email signatures, speaker profiles, and print materials.
Do you offer on-location sessions? Yes. I bring a portable studio setup to offices across Cape Town. This is particularly useful if you need LinkedIn headshots for several team members in one session.
How quickly will I receive my images? Standard turnaround is 6 working days. Rush delivery is available for urgent needs.
Whether you need a single headshot or images for your entire team, I will make sure you look your professional best.
