Our work covers e-commerce product shots on white and lifestyle backgrounds, brand and team portraits, food and hospitality photography, and ongoing social media content shoots. As a full-service marketing agency founded in 2015, we shoot with the end use in mind, so your images are sized and styled for exactly where they will appear.

What makes us different
Why South African businesses choose Juicy Designs for photography
Photography shot for where it will be used, by a team that also runs your marketing. No disconnected image dumps.
Shot for the end use
Because we are a full marketing agency, we shoot with the destination in mind: the right crop for your store listing, the right ratio for Instagram, the right composition for an ad. You get images that drop straight into where they belong, not a folder of photos that then need reworking to fit anywhere.
Founder-led creative direction
Creative director and co-founder Wynand van der Westhuizen guides the visual direction so every shoot stays on-brand and consistent with your wider marketing. Juicy Designs is a Meta Business Partner founded in Pretoria in 2015, rated 4.9 stars across 214 reviews, with work delivered for 64 plus clients.
Part of your wider content engine
Photography is far more valuable when it feeds a system. We connect your shoots to social media content, graphic design, and video marketing, so one shoot day produces assets across every channel. Booked month to month with no lock-in.
Frequently asked questions
Got questions?
Straight answers about photography for South African businesses. No jargon, no runaround.
How much does product photography cost in South Africa?
Product photography at Juicy Designs starts from R3,500 per shoot. The exact cost depends on the number of products, whether you need plain-white e-commerce shots or styled lifestyle imagery, and whether the shoot is in-studio or on location. A small batch of products on white sits at the lower end, while a styled lifestyle shoot with props and multiple setups costs more. We quote per shoot upfront based on your shot list, so you know the cost before we book the date.
What types of photography do you offer?
We offer e-commerce product photography (on white and lifestyle), food and hospitality photography, brand and team portraits, and ongoing social media content shoots. We also retouch and rescue existing image libraries and produce photo and video bundles in a single session. Because Juicy Designs is a full marketing agency, we shoot with your wider brand and channels in mind, so the imagery is consistent across your website, store, social media, and advertising.
Do you shoot in-studio or on location?
Both. We shoot products and portraits in a controlled studio setup for clean, consistent results, and we travel on location for premises, venue, food, and lifestyle photography. For hospitality and brand shoots, on-location work captures the real atmosphere of your business, which builds trust. We agree the best approach for your goals during the brief stage, and travel within South Africa can be arranged for larger shoots.
How quickly do I get my photos?
Final edited images are typically delivered within 3 to 5 working days of the shoot. We send you a gallery to review first, you flag any tweaks, and then we deliver the final files in every size and format your channels need. Rush turnaround can be arranged for time-sensitive launches. Every image goes through professional post-production, so what you receive is fully publish-ready, not raw camera files.
Is editing and retouching included?
Yes. Professional editing and retouching is included in every shoot. That covers colour correction, retouching, background cleanup, and export in the exact dimensions you need for e-commerce, web, and each social platform. The editing is what turns a good photo into a professional asset, so we never deliver unedited files. We can also retouch and standardise your existing image library as a separate service.
Can you handle our ongoing social media content?
Yes. Many clients book recurring content shoots that produce weeks of on-brand social posts in a single session. We plan the shot list around your content calendar and deliver platform-ready images. This pairs naturally with our social media content and social media management services, so your shoots, posts, and campaigns all work as one system. You can also bundle photography with video marketing for stills and motion from one shoot day.
