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 does the pricing work?
A R 1,500 session fee confirms your booking and covers the studio, equipment, coaching, and tethered live review. Each retouched image you select is then charged at R 400, including full retouching, full-resolution and web-optimised files, and a LinkedIn-ready crop variant. You pay only for the images you take.
How long does a LinkedIn headshot session take?
Sessions run up to one hour. There is no fixed clock. The session ends when you have the images you need. Most LinkedIn-focused clients select one or two images and the session takes around thirty minutes from sitting down to confirming selects.
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. A wardrobe and preparation PDF arrives 48 hours before your session.
How do I book a session?
Send a brief through the contact form and you will have a quote the same working day, confirming the R 1,500 session fee and the R 400 per-image rate. Pay the session fee to confirm your booking. Your shoot date is confirmed the same business day the fee clears.
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 of payment. Rush 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.

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