Corporate Headshots & Interviews in Tamboerskloof — the craft

The portable-studio setup

A meeting room roughly four metres by four metres is enough for a full headshot production. We bring a Profoto B10 Plus with a soft octabox as the key, a smaller strip as the rim, a background stand with a portable grey or navy background, and a small monitor so the sitter can see the last frame while the producer runs the queue. Every person gets six to nine minutes in front of the camera — enough for wardrobe adjustment, three lighting positions and 40 to 60 frames to select from. A producer keeps the queue moving so the CFO does not wait an hour for their seven minutes, and we shoot 20 people comfortably in a morning or 30 in a full day.

Wardrobe and expression coaching

Every sitter gets a short wardrobe brief a week ahead — solid colours, no bold patterns, no lanyard, no reading glasses if they can help it. On the shoot day the producer coaches expression: a real smile from a memory, a considered listening face, a strong direct look. Most executives find one of the three that suits their role and their industry — a lawyer often lands on the considered look, a founder on the direct look, a marketer on the smile. We shoot enough variation that the sitter has real options at delivery, and we deliver one polished master plus three alternates per person so the internal team can rotate crops without needing another shoot.
