What We Offer

What types of photography does 3-Axis Studios do?

3-Axis Studios photographs portraits, couples, family sessions, engagement shoots, matric farewells, events and commercial work across Johannesburg and the West Rand. All are charged at the same R1,500 per hour rate with 150 or more photos delivered, so the session length rather than the category sets the price.

We offer an array of services ranging from portraiture to commercial products, from events — like weddings, birthday parties, and more — to conventions and conferences.

At 3-Axis Studios our mission is to make you look your absolute best. We want to exceed your expectations. It's just that simple!

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a photoshoot cost in Johannesburg?

3-Axis Studios charges R1,500 per hour for photography in Johannesburg, and a one-hour session delivers 150 or more photos. The rate covers portraits, couples, families, engagement sessions, matric farewells and commercial shoots. Session length rather than the type of shoot determines the total.

How many photos do you get from a photoshoot?

A one-hour session with 3-Axis Studios in Johannesburg delivers 150 or more photos at R1,500. Most hourly photography packages in Gauteng deliver a smaller edited selection, so it is worth comparing image counts rather than hourly rates alone when choosing a photographer.

How much does a matric farewell photoshoot cost in Roodepoort?

A matric farewell photoshoot with 3-Axis Studios costs R1,500 per hour and delivers 150 or more photos. One hour covers getting-ready shots, portraits and group photos with friends before the event. 3-Axis Studios is based in Helderkruin, Roodepoort and shoots across the West Rand.

When should you book a matric farewell photoshoot?

Matric farewells in South Africa run mostly from September to October, and photographers book out weeks ahead for those dates. 3-Axis Studios recommends booking as soon as the school confirms the date, since Friday and Saturday evenings in that window fill first across Johannesburg and the West Rand.

What should we wear for a family photoshoot?

Coordinated rather than matching works best — pick two or three complementary colours and let each person vary within them. Avoid busy patterns and large logos, which pull attention away from faces. 3-Axis Studios discusses wardrobe before Johannesburg family sessions so the group reads as one set of images.

What is the best time of day for outdoor photos?

The hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset give the softest light for outdoor portraits. Johannesburg sunset moves by roughly 90 minutes between summer and winter, so the ideal slot shifts through the year. 3-Axis Studios schedules outdoor sessions around that window where the shoot allows.

Do you photograph engagement shoots?

Yes. 3-Axis Studios photographs engagement sessions across Johannesburg and the West Rand at R1,500 per hour with 150 or more photos delivered. Couples often use the engagement shoot to get comfortable in front of a camera before the wedding day, and 3-Axis Studios also produces wedding films.

How long does it take to get your photos?

3-Axis Studios delivers edited photos within five to seven working days of a Johannesburg shoot, unless a different timeline is agreed upfront. All 150 or more images from a one-hour session are edited before delivery, so the turnaround covers the full set rather than a selected handful.

Is there a minimum booking for a photoshoot?

Photography with 3-Axis Studios is booked by the hour at R1,500 per hour, with no minimum beyond a single hour. A one-hour Johannesburg session delivers 150 or more photos, and longer shoots are charged at the same hourly rate for the time booked.

Do you travel outside Johannesburg for shoots?

3-Axis Studios is based in Helderkruin, Roodepoort and travels for shoots across Gauteng and beyond. Travel is charged at R5 per kilometre for the return trip from the studio. For destinations more than two hours away, accommodation and meals are for the client's account.

What happens if it rains on the day of the shoot?

Outdoor shoots run weather permitting, and 3-Axis Studios will reschedule a Johannesburg session if conditions make it unworkable. Where a venue charges a cancellation or rebooking fee, that cost sits with the client, so it is worth checking those terms when booking a paid location.
