In short
Where we photograph in the City of London
We come to you in the City of London: at your home or in the garden, at a local park or open space such as Postman's Park or Leadenhall Market, at your office or workplace in the City of London for headshots and team photography, or at your venue for weddings and events, Ironmongers' Hall or Stationers' Hall among them.
We travel from Northwood, about 15 miles away, so the shoot happens where you are; the Northwood studio is there as an option if you would ever prefer it. To book, call 07956 505383, send a WhatsApp message or use the form on this page.

…Kaushik's work is fantastic and he took so much stress out of our special day. He and his team are highly professional, fun and friendly and work with you to capture the shots that you want. He captured some amazing moments of both us and our guests, some natural, some posed but all truly wonderful. We were blown away by our albums and videos and have no hesitation in recommending him to our family and friends.
Had a lovely experience with the family photo shoot. Friendly man made us feel very comfortable and took some amazing shots
My two sisters and I ‘ the golden girls’ had a great, hilarious photo session. Kaushik is very professional and took some amazing photos especially when we were laughing so much trying to get up from the floor. Can’t wait to see ‘air brushed’ version. Well at 75 you need a little help. Definitely recommend Kashuik. He enjoyed our craziness!
What we photograph in the City of London
From christenings to company profiles
Ceremonies for the City are provided by the Islington Registrar, and Say I Do Islington lists over 40 licensed venues across Islington and the City, so a quiet civil service and a full week of Asian festivities can both be planned around the right room.
An engagement, a fortieth, a graduation or a golden anniversary could be marked with portraits among the ruined Wren walls of St Dunstan in the East.
For businesses around Cornhill, Threadneedle Street and Lime Street, where the City's banking and insurance firms are concentrated, we offer headshots, branding shoots and corporate event coverage, each planned in advance. Product shoots, personal branding and pet portraits round out the list, the last usually on a lead in a quiet garden rather than on a busy pavement.

Across the City of London
From Northwood to the Square Mile
The City of London covers just 1.12 square miles, the UK's smallest city by area, and we can cover weddings, portraits and events anywhere within it. The City of London is the historic financial heart of the capital, and neighbouring Southwark and Islington are well within our reach. In and around the City of London, we cover venues such as Merchant Taylors' Hall, Painters' Hall and Ironmongers' Hall.
The City of London is the capital's historic financial district, known as the Square Mile and governed by the City of London Corporation. It is served by Bank and Liverpool Street stations, with the Central, Northern, Circle and Elizabeth lines all running through it. We can take couples to Postman's Park for a few quiet portraits, with St Paul's Cathedral as a lovely backdrop nearby.
Because organised shoots in the City's gardens and churchyards need a licence from the City of London Corporation, we agree locations, timings and any must-have shots well ahead so the session itself runs unhurried. You are never left guessing. A few days before, you receive the confirmed plan and what to bring, with room left to follow the mood on the day.
Why book us in the City of London
Calm, prepared and never flustered
More than 25 years in practice means backup equipment on hand and contingency in the timings, which matters in a district where lifts, security desks and weekday crowds all shape a schedule. For a City booking that preparation starts early: names on the security list, the licensed room confirmed and the route from Liverpool Street planned before the day.
Northwood is about 15 miles from the City of London, and we cover on location bookings throughout Greater London with ease. We photograph clients in and around the City of London, and can travel on to Camden and Islington whenever your shoot calls for it.
An online gallery makes sharing simple with family and colleagues, and the high resolution files print cleanly at any size you choose.

Good to know
Photography in the City of London, frequently asked questions
Both reflect how clients have been looked after since 2001, from first enquiry to finished album. Those reviews are on Google for anyone to read in full before getting in touch.
Clean white or brand-styled backgrounds both work, whether the images are for an online shop, a catalogue or a City firm's marketing. Send or bring the items with a note on where the images will be used, and the results come back crisp and colour-accurate.
Yes, from a breakfast briefing to an evening awards dinner. At a conference in a livery hall or an office auditorium, we would work quietly around the speakers and guests, capturing the atmosphere without getting in the way. The edited set suits internal comms, press and social media, and it is turned around promptly so your team can post the highlights while the event is still news.
We do: product photography, branding imagery, team headshots and company functions, for firms anywhere from Threadneedle Street to Lime Street. Tell us what the images are for and we will scope the job to match.
Yes, we take passport and visa photographs to the official specifications, including the sizing and background rules for many countries. The sitting is quick, and we can advise on what your particular document requires. If you are coming out from the City, ring ahead so we are ready when you arrive.
Yes, every image we deliver from a City shoot is finished by hand before it reaches you. Exposure, colour and tone are adjusted frame by frame, which matters when City light bounces off glass and pale stone, and any retouching stays natural rather than over-processed. Headshots for a firm's website can be refined a little further on request, and we are glad to agree the finish beforehand.
