- Studio or location: Either your workplace within about 20 miles or the studio in Northwood, depending on the brief.
- Distance from the studio: Hatch End is about 2 miles from the studio at 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6 1NU, measured in a straight line; the road distance is longer.
- To book: Ring or WhatsApp 07956 505383 during opening hours (Monday to Saturday 10:30 to 18:00, Sunday 13:00 to 18:00), or leave your details in the form below.
Before the visit we agree a list of shots and the order they happen in, and the order matters more, because it decides which room has to be free at which hour.
On the day we work through it and show you frames as we go, so anything wrong gets fixed while the lights are still standing. Files come back colour-matched across the whole set, cropped for web and for print, and cleared for whatever use you have in mind.

He made us feel relaxed, comfortable and very much at home throughout the session - these details are so important to help you look your best. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kaushik to anyone looking to have great photographs taken.
It was a pleasure working with Kaushik who managed to help me at short notice to provide official photos for professional use at very short notice and was able to support me whilst abroad. Thanks and would highly recommend their services.

Good to know
Commercial Photographer in Hatch End, FAQs
Yes, and on-site shoots are straightforward to arrange. What we need is one room we can have for an hour, three metres of clear floor if you can spare it, and a wall that is not glass. Everything else, lights, stands and background, arrives with us. Half an hour of notice to clear the room beats moving furniture with us standing there.
Definitely. We keep a note of the lights and backdrop from your first team shoot, so later arrivals can be photographed to match. The result is a team page and LinkedIn profiles that still look like one set as people join and leave.
Yes, though products are usually better brought to the Northwood studio than photographed on your premises. The reason is repeatability rather than convenience: a setup recorded at the studio can be reproduced exactly next year, so a new item drops into the existing set without looking newer than the rest. On-site product work makes sense when the item is too large or too fixed to move.
We keep turnaround short, since a launch date or a website going live rarely moves. Galleries usually follow within a few days, delivered online in web and print sizes. If a deadline is tight, tell us when you book and we will see what can be brought forward.
Yes. In Hatch End that often means a hall rather than a conference suite, Harrow Arts Centre and its Elliott Hall on Uxbridge Road being the obvious ones. A hall is a low-light job: flash during a talk is out, so we work fast lenses from positions agreed at the start and accept the colour the room's own rig gives us. Portraits of speakers are better done in a side room beforehand.

Commercial work out of Hatch End is shaped by the fact that this is a residential corner of Harrow rather than a business district. The premises are period houses, converted rooms and the front half of somebody's home, so the usual problem is not a large space badly lit but a small space with one window and a low ceiling. A low white ceiling is an asset, because it can be bounced off and turned into the light source. A low papered or coloured one is a liability, because everything bounced off it returns tinted and every face in the room picks up the same cast. Establishing which of the two we are dealing with before the visit changes what gets carried through the door. Small rooms create the other recurring problem, which is distance. A flattering head and shoulders wants the camera well back with a long lens on it, and a period front room does not offer the length, so a wide lens ends up close in and noses come out larger than life. The way round it is to work along the diagonal of the room instead of across it, which buys more space than it seems it should, and to stand the subject a good arm's length off the wall so the background falls away rather than showing every shadow. Where a team is built up over more than one visit, camera height is the thing to hold constant, since a face lit from six inches higher reads as a different photograph and nobody can quite say why.
