In short
Where we photograph in Hackney
We come to you in Hackney: at your home or in the garden, at a local park or open space such as Clissold Park or London Fields, at your office or workplace in Hackney for headshots and team photography, or at your venue for weddings and events, Hackney Town Hall venue rooms or Shoreditch Town Hall among them.
We travel from Northwood, about 16 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.
Portraits, family sessions, headshots, pets and commercial work are photographed on location within about 20 miles, and weddings further afield. Each has its own page for Hackney: portrait sessions, family sessions, headshots, pet portraits and commercial photography.

…Kaushik has an incredible eye for detail and an exceptional talent for capturing those fleeting, candid moments that made our wedding so unique. The photos are absolutely stunning—full of emotion, vibrancy, and creativity. He didn’t just take photographs; he told the story of our wedding day in the most heartfelt and artistic way possible.
We’ve been having pictures taken by Kaushik over 15 years. Very professional and brilliant pictures
I had a photoshoot recently and it was such a great experience. Everyone was lovely and made us comfortable. The pictures looks great as well I am very pleased. I will definitely come back when the opportunity arises again,
What we photograph in Hackney
Personal shoots and professional ones
We come to you across Greater London, shooting in homes, gardens and workplaces in Hackney and around Islington and Tower Hamlets. For a graduation, a christening or a big birthday we plan an unhurried session rather than a queue of poses, at home or perhaps in Victoria Park on the borough's southern edge.
Some families want a tidy set of arranged groups and others a looser hour on the grass at London Fields, and either suits us. A family session could take place in Clissold Park in Stoke Newington, open since 1889 and home to a small herd of fallow deer, or among the formal gardens of Springfield Park, and we cover cake smashes, maternity and newborn sittings too.
For businesses in and around East London Tech City, the cluster of technology companies between St Luke's and Hackney Road, we photograph events, headshots and products, and a small shop's range gets the same attention as a boardroom portrait. Beyond weddings and family work there are personal branding sessions, corporate events, product shoots and pet portraits.

Across Hackney
Photography across Hackney
Hackney is about 16 miles from Northwood, and we cover the whole borough, from Clapton and Stoke Newington to Dalston. Hackney is a creative east London borough, and on location we also cover Tower Hamlets and Islington. In and around Hackney, we cover venues such as Hackney Town Hall and Shoreditch Town Hall.
The borough is known for its independent shops, markets and a strong arts and music scene. Hackney Central and Hackney Downs stations, on the Overground's Mildmay and Weaver lines, link the borough with the rest of London. We can take couples to Victoria Park, on the borough's southern edge, for a few quiet portraits, or to the Hackney Empire, the Grade II* listed theatre on Mare Street.
We start by asking what the pictures are for, then adapt as we go, so a session in a Hackney park feels like an outing rather than a production. A single message or call is enough to begin. We reply with a few questions about the shoot, agree a date and a place in Hackney, and take care of the rest.

Good to know
Photography in Hackney, frequently asked questions
We plan each shoot around the light and the setting, whether that is the Art Deco interiors of Hackney Town Hall, opened in 1937, or the open lawns of London Fields.
Go for clothes that are comfortable and sit together in colour without being identical. Plain, soft colours photograph well, whereas big logos and busy prints draw the eye away from faces. If we are out in London Fields or Clissold Park, dress for the weather as well, since a cold child stops cooperating quickly. Torn between two outfits for a walk past the lido in London Fields? Send us a photo of each and we will help you decide.
The pictures are relaxed rather than the stiff school line-up most of us grew up with. Afterwards you can order prints, digital files or gifts, and we keep the sitting short and light-hearted for the children.
Yes, and a maternity sitting can be followed by a newborn session once the baby arrives. Around thirty to thirty-four weeks tends to work best, when the bump is well rounded and you can still move about easily.
It depends on what was photographed and how busy the time of year is. Headshots and portraits normally take a couple of weeks, and a wedding, with its much larger gallery, takes longer. If there is a date you are working to, mention it when you book and we will keep you posted on progress.
Yes, gladly, at home, in a park. What you should come away with is a set of warm, honest pictures of your family as it is this year, good enough for the wall.
They have been built up since 2001 across every kind of booking, from the first phone call to the final album. The reviews themselves are on our Google profile, and we are happy to point you to them before you enquire.
