In short

Picture-making across Hampstead

Kaushik Bathia is an award winning photographer based in nearby Northwood, photographing weddings, portraits, families, headshots and commercial work in Hampstead and across Greater London for over twenty five years. Children and pets set their own pace, so we follow theirs, working fast and keeping it playful, which is how the honest expressions turn up in the frames. Weddings, engagements, families, newborns, headshots, commercial shoots and pet portraits, plus framing and photo restoration, are all handled under one roof for Hampstead. With more than a thousand weddings behind us, we carry backup cameras, lenses and memory to every booking, because experience teaches you to plan for the day not going to plan. 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 Hampstead

The services on offer across Hampstead

Hampstead is an affluent, historic village in the London Borough of Camden set on the hill above Hampstead Heath. Our Northwood studio is where portraits and headshots happen, and everything else, from garden shoots to venue weddings, takes place across Belsize Park, Highgate and Golders Green. Engagement shoots are often the first time a couple works with us, and they set the tone for the wedding coverage that follows a season later.

From bump to newborn to that first wobbly birthday, our sessions with young families are unhurried, and we work at the pace the child sets on the day. 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. Multi day Asian weddings, intimate civil ceremonies and everything between them pass through our studio, and we prepare for each one as carefully as the last.

Whether you need a single headshot or a full product catalogue, we scale the session to suit, and we bring the same commercial standard to every business booking. Corporate events, conferences and staff headshots make up a good part of our commercial work, and we also shoot product ranges for businesses that sell online. Headshots for Hampstead sit alongside acting portfolios, LinkedIn portraits and staff photos, and we shoot them to flatter the person while meeting whatever the role or platform needs.

Across Hampstead

Based in Northwood, working across Hampstead

Clients in Hampstead know us for our on location work. Hampstead is an affluent, historic village in the London Borough of Camden set on the hill above Hampstead Heath, and our Northwood studio keeps West Hampstead and Belsize Park within easy reach. Hampstead and the towns around it offer venues such as Burgh House and Hampstead Museum, New End Square, Kenwood House, Hampstead Heath and The Hill Garden and Pergola, Inverforth Close, all familiar to us.

Hampstead is one of London's wealthiest and most storied villages, long associated with writers, artists and intellectuals. Winding lanes of Georgian houses lead up to the open expanse of the Heath. Hampstead station (Northern line) is the deepest station on the Underground network For relaxed couple photographs, we like the Edwardian Hill Garden and Pergola, and Parliament Hill's skyline views, and Hampstead Heath and the neoclassical Kenwood House on its northern edge gives the day a strong sense of Hampstead.

You are never left guessing. We confirm the plan, the timing and what to bring, then keep the day flexible enough to follow the mood. A short call is usually all it takes to plan things. We cover the practical bits so you can turn up on the day and simply enjoy it.

Why Hampstead chooses us

Would twenty five years of practice help?

We have been at this since 2001, and in that time we have covered well over a thousand weddings, which means very little on a shoot day surprises us now. We have been trusted with a thousand of the most important days people have, which is a responsibility we carry into every booking, whether it is a wedding or a single headshot.

We are a short drive from Hampstead and travel across Belsize Park, Highgate and Golders Green for on location work of all kinds. Coming to Hampstead is no trouble from the studio, and we work across Greater London for clients everywhere.

You receive a polished selection through your own online gallery, with high resolution downloads included and physical prints available whenever the mood takes you. Within a fortnight of the shoot your edited images are ready, delivered in high resolution and backed by the studio for any prints or albums you want.

Good to know

Photography in Hampstead, frequently asked questions

Why choose a local photographer near Hampstead rather than a chain?+

A local, established studio means you deal with the same person from your first enquiry to the final print. We know the light, the venues and the best outdoor spots around Hampstead, and we are easy to reach if you have a question. You also support a long standing independent business rather than a faceless chain.

What if our pet is nervous around strangers?+

That is very common and nothing to worry about. We give your pet time to explore and get used to us before any real photography begins, and we let you stay close throughout. Working quietly and without rushing usually settles even anxious animals, and we would rather take longer than force a stressful moment.

Is travel to Hampstead charged as an extra?+

Local travel around Hampstead and nearby Greater London is usually included in the quote, so there are no surprises. For destinations further afield, or full-day coverage that needs early starts, we may add a modest travel allowance, and we always tell you upfront. You will see any such cost written clearly in your quote before booking.

Why choose a local photographer in Hampstead?+

A local photographer knows the light, the venues, and the character of Hampstead 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.

Can you cover a business or corporate event?+

Yes, event coverage is one of our regular services. We photograph conferences, awards evenings, launches, and celebrations discreetly, capturing speakers, guests, and the atmosphere without getting in the way. You receive a well-edited set suitable for internal use, press, and social media, usually turned around promptly so your team can share the highlights while the event is still fresh.

Is your studio accessible, and what should we expect on arrival?+

We aim to make every visit comfortable and stress free. When you arrive we will offer a drink, talk through the plan, and answer any questions before we start, so there are no surprises. If anyone in your party has particular access needs, tell us in advance and we will do our best to help.

Do you take product photography?+

We do, in our controlled studio setting where lighting and background stay consistent shot to shot. Product photography suits online shops, catalogues, and marketing, and we can shoot on clean white or styled to match your brand. Bring us the items and a sense of how you will use the images, and we will produce crisp, accurate results.
