Why LinkedIn headshots are different

Your profile photo is working in a very specific context

A LinkedIn photo is seen at thumbnail size before it is seen at full size. The first impression it makes is in a feed, a search result, or a connection request, where the image is roughly 48 pixels across. At that scale, expression and framing matter more than anything else. A smile that reads as warm and confident at thumbnail size is doing more work for you than technically flawless lighting on a distant, stiff pose.

The session is structured around that specific context. On-set direction focuses on natural expression and a framing that works across LinkedIn, your company website, a press release, and a speaker bio. Most people walk in expecting something close to a passport photo with better lighting. They leave with an image that looks like themselves, at their best.

In Cape Town's professional sectors, including financial services, consulting, legal, renewable energy, and technology, a LinkedIn profile is often the first thing a prospective client, investor, or new employer will see. The quality of that image signals the same care and attention you bring to your work.

What to expect

What to expect from your LinkedIn headshot session in Cape Town

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.

On-set direction covers posture, expression, and positioning. Images are reviewed on a large screen as we work, so you see adjustments in real time. You leave knowing exactly what the final selection looks like.

Every session includes a reshoot commitment. If the result genuinely does not reflect what was discussed and agreed at the start, a reshoot is arranged at no charge. You see the images on screen before the session ends.

Common questions

Questions about LinkedIn headshots in Cape Town

How long does a LinkedIn headshot 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. Both sessions are designed to fit into a working day without disruption.

Where is the studio?

The studio is at the Saltcircle Building, 19 Kent Street, Woodstock, Cape Town. It is easily 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 works well. Bring a second option if you are unsure. For LinkedIn specifically, solid colours read clearly at thumbnail size.

Can I book directly, or do I need to request a quote first?

Both options are available. Use the "Book a session" button to pick a date and time directly, or use "Get a quote" if you have questions about the session first. Individual sessions are available within one to two weeks in most cases.

How do I receive my images?

Images are delivered as JPEG files at full resolution (minimum 3,000 pixels on the long edge), suitable for websites, press releases, and print. A web-optimised version (1,200 pixels, sRGB) is included for immediate online use. Files are individually named and delivered via a private download link within two working days. TIFF files are available on request. Next-morning delivery is available at +R 500.

What if I need headshots for my whole team, not just myself?

Team headshots are a natural next step. If you find yourself thinking that everyone on your team needs to update their profiles, the on-site mobile studio can come to your office. The cost starts at R 750 per person for groups of five or more.

Do you offer hair and makeup styling?

Hair and makeup are not included in the session fee, but I can connect you with trusted makeup artists who are experienced with photography when you book. Let me know at the time of booking if you would like a recommendation.
