Photographing St Albans brands and businesses
- What the session includes: A shoot planned around what the pictures are for, whether team headshots, an awards evening or a product range, with edited files cropped for the web, social media and printed material.
- Where we photograph in St Albans: Your premises, whether around St Albans street market, St Albans City Centre BID or St Peter's Street markets, or elsewhere in St Albans. We travel from Northwood, about 11 miles away. Products can also come to the Northwood studio instead.
- Booking: Use the form at the end of this page, or call or WhatsApp 07956 505383, and we will arrange a date and place in St Albans.
A morning generally takes in a small team along with a few pictures of the rooms themselves. Everyone stands in one spot under one setting, and the setting itself gets noted down, so a hire in six months does not stand out on the page.
Interiors are done before the room fills up. You get web-sized files and full-resolution ones, with the right to use them yourself wherever you need them, and we will say plainly if a room wants tidying before we start.

Myself and my partner Michael, Was very pleased with service and professionalism, also gave good advice regarding photography of fine artworks, would recommend him and customer service first class……….
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.
We have used Kaushik Photography a number of times and I would not hesitate in recommending him. He is very patient and offers an exemplary service. Thank you Kaushik.
What we offer
Commercial photography in St Albans
Lighting that travels
Lighting arrives by road and complete, so a deep room with one window stops being a problem.
Matched staff portraits
Setup recorded on day one, so next spring's arrivals match the team page instead of interrupting it.
Local and experienced
Why book us in St Albans
Every face in the set shares the same exposure, crop and colour, which keeps a team page tidy. Large teams are handled with one fixed set-up and a timed sign-up sheet, so each person is away from their desk for only a few minutes.
Files are delivered cleaned and colour-matched, ready for a website, a listing or print without another round of editing. Give us the go-live date for a new St Albans shop, menu or listing when you first get in touch, and both the shoot day and the editing slot are scheduled back from it.

St Albans business settings: stations, market and council
Before an on-site shoot we think about how staff arrive and when the centre gets busy, so these notes cover the city's two stations, its market days and how the district is governed, each with its published source alongside. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
- St Albans City station, built by the Midland Railway in 1868 on its extension to St Pancras, is managed by Govia Thameslink Railway, which runs all its Thameslink services. 1
- St Albans street market. St Albans holds a street market on Wednesdays and Saturdays that was founded by Abbot Ulsinus and is still going, and in 1553 Edward VI sold the right to hold it to local merchants when he incorporated the borough. 2
- St Albans City Centre BID. St Albans City Centre Business Improvement District, a not-for-profit organisation established in 2017, runs events, street-scene, safety and marketing projects for city-centre businesses. 3
- The Clock Tower in the Market Place, completed by 1405, is the only surviving medieval town belfry in England and a Scheduled Ancient Monument, and it rang the town's curfew until 1863. 4

Good to know
Commercial Photographer in St Albans, FAQs
Yes. We record the lights, distances and background used on the day, so a later visit to your St Albans office can repeat them exactly. A St Albans office can then add a new starter to its team page without the lighting giving them away.
Absolutely. Colour correction, retouching and tidying of backgrounds come as part of the booking, so nothing needs further work before you publish it. On product frames that means dust, scuffs and stray reflections go; on staff portraits it stays light, so people still look like themselves at the next meeting.
Absolutely. For a St Albans brand that posts often, we would plan one longer shoot across several products, settings and uses, so a single day produces a stock of images. That set can then carry a website, social channels and campaigns for months before a fresh session is needed.
Yes. Interiors are photographed early and empty, before the day has moved anything, and they need our light instead of the ceiling fittings, which are the wrong colour and in the wrong place. In St Albans that can mean an older room with one window and a dim far end. Booking interiors alongside team portraits costs less than two separate visits and fits one morning.
Yes. Branded cups, packaging or signage you already own can be worked into the set if you bring them along.
Serving St Albans
A commercial photographer near St Albans
St Albans is about 11 miles from Northwood, and the district is served by M1 junctions 6, 7 and 9 and M25 junctions 21A and 22, so we bring our lighting to most premises by road. It sits close to Radlett and Abbots Langley, which we cover too. We cover St Albans and the wider Hertfordshire area for commercial photography, on location, with travel from Northwood set out in your written quote before you book.
Its street market, founded by Abbot Ulsinus, still runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays, which is worth knowing if a shop or café shoot in the centre needs quiet pavements. St Albans City station, built by the Midland Railway in 1868, has Thameslink services, which helps when staff or clients travel in for a shoot.

Having the M25 and the M1 close to St Albans settles the shape of a commercial booking before anything else does. We arrive by road, so the ceiling on lighting is not what two people can carry through a station barrier, it is what your room will accept: height above the heads, one clear stretch of wall, and somewhere a stand can live without blocking a fire route. One window wall, then a back half daylight never reaches. Lit by that window alone, half of a face is bright and the rest is missing, and the ceiling fittings that appear to fill the gap are a different colour of light again, which is why those pictures always look slightly ill. Adding our own light solves both faults in one move, and it is faster than shifting furniture. Consistency is the second thing a booking like this has to deliver. A team photographed across a working day drifts, because the daylight in a room at nine is not the daylight at three, and a page of faces built that way never quite settles down. So everyone is photographed in one spot on one setting, with the distances and the power written down, and a person taken on next spring can stand where the others stood. Meanwhile the rest of the office carries on; people come out in ones and twos as they get free.

How it works
St Albans shoots, at your venue
We travel to St Albans from Northwood (about 11 miles) rather than asking you to travel to us. For an office or shop in the AL1 to AL4 postcodes, we would set up stands, lights and a background in whichever room you can spare, and photograph the team, the premises and any stock in the same visit.
Your photographer is Kaushik Bathia FBIPP FMPA: established 2001, with five European Kodak Gold Awards.
