FAQs
Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequent headshot questions?
Here are the questions I get asked most often. If yours isn't here, get in touch.
Do you have a studio?
I don't have a dedicated commercial studio. Most sessions happen on location at your offices, which works well for corporate headshots. If you'd prefer a neutral studio environment I can arrange that separately; just ask.
Can you shoot at my office?
Yes, that's how most sessions work. I bring everything I need, set up in a meeting room or suitable space, and your team can come through between meetings. Travel within 30km of Cape Town CBD is included. Beyond that, a per-kilometre rate applies.
How long before we get our pictures?
48 hours as standard. Same day is sometimes possible if we've agreed that upfront.
What should I wear?
Wear what you'd wear to an important meeting. Solid colours work better than patterns or stripes, which can look distracting on screen. Avoid very bright colours unless they're part of your brand. Bring a spare outfit if you want options.
Do I need to do anything to prepare?
Get a good night's sleep. Come with your hair done as you'd normally wear it to work. If you wear glasses, clean the lenses. That's genuinely most of it.
Do you do group photos?
Yes. I set up at your offices and work through your team one by one. For larger groups, some scheduling coordination helps. I'll walk you through that when we talk.
How big a group can you shoot?
I've shot teams of all sizes. The main thing is having a bit of coordination on the day so people come through in a steady flow.
Do you travel?
Yes. Travel within 30km of Cape Town CBD is included in all packages. Beyond that, a per-kilometre rate applies.
I hate having my photo taken. Will that be a problem?
Most people say that. It's rarely true by the end of the session. I show you images on a screen as we shoot, so you can see what's working early on. That tends to settle things quickly.
How many images will I get?
That depends on the package. The Standard session includes 2 retouched images. The Social Media Pack includes 8. Personal Branding includes 20. Additional retouched images are R400 each.
