In short

The photographer Hackney keeps coming back to

Kaushik Bathia has photographed clients across Greater London for over twenty five years, and families and businesses in Hackney choose him for calm, natural photography across every occasion, backed by five European Gold awards. For headshots we keep the mood light and the pace steady, offering small direction on posture and eyeline, so you look approachable and assured rather than braced and formal. We photograph everything in Hackney, from weddings of every tradition and family portraits to newborn sessions, professional headshots, commercial work and pet photography. We are one of the longer-standing studios around, open since 2001, and that continuity means references are easy to find and the work speaks for a couple of decades, not a season. You can book a studio session or an on location shoot, add hand finished albums and prints, and we travel throughout Greater London for anything further afield.

What we photograph in Hackney

Personal shoots and professional ones

Hackney is a creative east London borough. Our Northwood studio handles portraits and headshots, while for everything else we come to you across Greater London, shooting in homes, gardens and workplaces around Islington, Tower Hamlets. Whether you are marking a graduation, a christening or a fiftieth birthday, we build a relaxed session that feels like time spent, not a queue of poses.

Maternity and newborn work asks for patience and a calm room, and we give both, photographing the bump, the birth's first weeks and the family finding its feet. You may want a formal set of family portraits or a loose session in the park, and we are happy with either, matching the mood to your family. From a first birthday cake smash to a graduation gown, and from a maternity session to a newborn's earliest days, we are there for the moments a family wants to keep.

Businesses come to us for event coverage, headshots and product photography, and we bring the same commercial eye to a small shop's range as to a boardroom portrait. Away from weddings we cover the working world, headshots and personal branding, corporate events, product and commercial shoots, and the pet portraits that never quite behave. The studio handles the practical jobs too, framing and enlarging your prints, restoring photographs that have faded or torn, and taking passport and visa pictures that pass the rules.

Across Hackney

On your doorstep in Hackney

We know Hackney well and photograph clients right across it. Hackney is a creative east London borough, and from our nearby Northwood studio we also cover Hammersmith and Fulham and Haringey. In and around Hackney, we have photographed at venues such as Hackney Town Hall and Shoreditch Town Hall.

Hackney is a creative east London borough known for its independent shops, markets and a strong arts and music scene. Hackney Central and Hackney Downs stations link the borough via London Overground services. We often take couples to Victoria Park, one of London's oldest public parks with lakes and open lawns for a few quiet portraits, and The Hackney Empire, a Grade II* listed Edwardian theatre is a lovely backdrop nearby.

You lead and we follow, listening to what you want from the session and adapting as we go so it always feels natural rather than staged. Getting started takes one quick message. We reply with a few questions, sort a date that works around you, and handle the rest from there.

Why Hackney chooses us

Experience Hackney can rely on

A quarter of a century of work has given us range, so whether you need a relaxed family sitting or a polished corporate headshot, it is familiar ground for us. We are one of the longer-standing studios around, open since 2001, and that continuity means references are easy to find and the work speaks for a couple of decades, not a season.

We regularly travel to Hackney and cover on location sessions right across Islington, Tower Hamlets. We take bookings in Hackney and the towns around it, covering on location work throughout Islington, Tower Hamlets.

After the shoot we edit with a careful eye, then send a link to your private gallery where the full set waits in high resolution. A week or two after your shoot you receive a carefully edited online gallery of high resolution images, with fine-art albums, prints and framing all available from the studio.

Good to know

Photography in Hackney, frequently asked questions

A local photographer knows the light, the venues, and the character of Hackney and Greater London, which helps a shoot run smoothly. You also get a real person to meet, plan with, and return to for prints, albums, or future sessions. With our studio close by and a strong reputation nearby, we combine that convenience with award-winning experience.

Choose outfits that feel comfortable and coordinate rather than match exactly. Soft, solid colours tend to photograph well, while very bright logos or busy patterns can pull attention away from your faces. Think in tones that sit nicely together, and dress for the season if we are shooting outdoors. We are happy to advise beforehand.

We photograph children individually and in sibling groups, both in the studio and occasionally on location for nurseries. The style is warm and natural rather than the stiff line up many parents remember. Prints, digital files and gifts are available afterwards, and we make the whole experience calm and enjoyable for the children.

We do, and they pair beautifully with a newborn session later. The best time is usually around thirty to thirty four weeks, when your bump is nicely rounded but you are still comfortable. Parents from Hackney and across Greater London come to the studio, where we provide gowns and guide you through flattering, relaxed poses.

Turnaround varies with the type of shoot and the season. Portraits and headshots are usually ready within a couple of weeks, while weddings, with their larger galleries and careful editing, take a little longer. If you have a specific deadline, tell us when booking and we will do our best to work around it and keep you updated.

We do, and they are one of our most loved bookings. Family sessions can happen at our studio or somewhere meaningful to you around Hackney, and we keep things easy and unhurried so everyone relaxes, children included. The aim is warm, genuine portraits you will want on the wall, marking exactly how your family looks and feels right now.

We are proud of our standing, holding a 4.8 rating from more than five hundred reviews, alongside five European Gold awards for our work. Those numbers reflect years of looking after clients properly, from first enquiry to finished album. We would rather let happy families and couples speak for us, and we are always glad to point you to their words.
