A good headshot should look like you on a very good day.
Not stiff.
Not overworked.
Not like someone told you to smile.
I photograph all headshots in my Johannesburg studio, where I can control the light, background and every small detail that makes a difference.
You don't need to know how to pose.
I will direct you throughout — where to stand, what to do with your hands, how to hold your shoulders and, most importantly, when to stop trying quite so hard.
The result is a strong, polished portrait that still looks like you.
Your headshot often speaks before you do.
It may be the first thing someone sees on LinkedIn, your company website, a proposal, an article or a speaker profile.
It needs to do its job.
I photograph directors, attorneys, doctors, consultants, academics, business owners and professionals from many different industries.
The profession changes.
The principle doesn't.
A strong headshot should make you look capable, approachable and recognisably yourself.
Your portraits can be used across:
Every final portrait is individually retouched and finished by me.
Enough to polish what needs polishing.
Not enough to turn you into somebody else.
I photograph individuals in my Johannesburg studio as well as teams who need a consistent set of portraits across a business.
The lighting and background may remain consistent.
The people shouldn't all look the same.
That, actually, is the point.
For larger organisations requiring consistent headshots across a team:
If you need a professional headshot that looks like you, I’d be happy to photograph you.
