Three rooms,
one eye.

A matric afternoon, a boardroom that hosted a former head of state, and a Sunday at the circuit. Different rooms, the same way of watching them.

What we do

Booked for the
rooms that matter.

Most of our work is corporate: events, portraits and the formal frames an organisation needs on record. Fixed pricing, quick turnaround, and a studio that knows when to disappear.

01

Corporate & events

Conferences, keynotes, leadership summits and launches. Full coverage of the room: arrivals, stage, candids and the formal line-ups your comms team will actually use.

Edited gallery within 5 working days
02

Executive portraits

Headshots and leadership portraits, shot on location at your offices so nobody loses a morning to a studio visit. Consistent framing across an entire exec team.

Retouched selects within 3 working days
03

Portrait & personal

Matric dances, milestones and family sittings, photographed as they happen rather than posed into something stiff.

Move your cursor across the frame

Hold the
car still, let
the world blur.

The same instinct runs through all three collections: pick the one thing that matters, and let everything behind it fall away.

The Studio

A studio built on being present, not directing.

Lumenhaus is a Johannesburg photography studio working across corporate events, executive portraits and personal commissions. We work quietly, stay out of the programme, and hand back frames you will actually use.

  • 01

    We shoot the in-between.

    The hours before the dance carry the truth of the night. The mother zipping the dress, the laugh through the mirror, the silence on the staircase. That is the work.

  • 02

    One subject, one afternoon.

    Sessions are limited to a single matric per Saturday so the work never feels rushed. We arrive an hour before the makeup artist finishes and stay until the car pulls away.

  • 03

    A signature soft-pink grade.

    Every Lumenhaus frame is hand-graded in a warm pink-cream palette borrowed from the Formula 1 paddock. It is the colour of celebration, lit gently.
