Professional Headshots, Woodstock Studio, Cape Town

The Individual Studio Session is R 2,300 all-in. That covers up to an hour in the studio, the direction and coaching, tethered live review on a large screen, and two retouched images, each delivered as a full-resolution file, a web-optimised file, and a LinkedIn-ready crop. Additional retouched images are R 400 each if you want more contexts covered. You select your images on screen at the end of the session, and any unused frames are deleted.

Studio sessions run up to one hour. There is no fixed clock. The session ends when you have the images you need. Most clients take between thirty and forty-five minutes from sitting down to confirming their selects.

Two retouched images are included, which covers most single-context needs comfortably. If your headshot will appear across a press kit, a speaker profile, a board pack, and a company team page, adding two or three more at R 400 each covers every context from one session.

Retouched images are delivered as JPEG files at full resolution (minimum 3,000 pixels on the long edge) and as web-optimised versions (1,200 pixels, sRGB). Files are individually named and delivered via a private download link within two working days of payment of the image invoice.

Yes. Next-morning delivery is available at 15% of the session total, with a R 500 minimum. Same-day delivery is 30%, with a R 1,000 minimum. Confirm the deadline at the time of booking or as soon as it is known.

The studio is at the Saltcircle Building, 19 Kent Street, Woodstock, Cape Town. Parking is available on the street. Clients regularly travel from the CBD, V&A Waterfront, Claremont, Constantia, and Stellenbosch.

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. The pre-shoot wardrobe guide arrives 48 hours before your session and covers the full checklist.

No. Most professionals walk in feeling stiff. On-set coaching covers posture, expression, and what to do with hands from the moment the session starts. Real-time review on screen means you see how you look in each set-up and adjust before moving on. Clients who arrive reluctant consistently leave with images they are confident using.

Standard retouching is included on every selected image: skin smoothing, blemish removal, and light cleanup. Specific requests are noted during the selection step and applied as part of the standard delivery.

A reshoot is included at no additional cost if the images are not right. Because every image is reviewed on screen and confirmed before you leave, this is rare. The guarantee covers edge cases: a brief that shifts after the session, or a single use case that needs a different look. Contact Jürgen directly at jurgen@jurgen.co.za to arrange it.

Send a brief through the contact form and you will have a quote the same working day, confirming the R 2,300 all-in session. Pay to confirm your booking. Your shoot date is confirmed the same business day the payment clears. The wardrobe and preparation PDF arrives 48 hours before the session.

Yes. Individual sessions are open to anyone. Many clients book their own sessions independently of their company, particularly executives, consultants, and professionals updating their LinkedIn or press image.
