Serving Abbots Langley
Sittings are held in the Northwood studio, HA6. From Abbots Langley, Bedmond, Hunton Bridge or Garston the studio is a short drive, and Kings Langley station is the alternative for anyone who prefers rail. A booking holds the room for one person only, so nobody waits in a queue for a turn.
One sitting hands you two treatments. A plain background exists so a whole team page matches, and a deeper one behind you suits a bio, a byline or a conference listing. The bulk of the half hour goes on getting a face to stop performing, because a headshot is read at thumbnail size and very little else survives that.

Perfect place to get headshot or passport photos taken! High quality, great speed, professional, edited to perfection.
I needed a few photographs for my website but ended up buying all the pictures taken by Kaushik as they were all beautiful and I couldn’t leave any behind! He was responsive, accommodating and flexible. I’ve already recommended him to a friend. I’ll be back when I need more pictures taken. Thanks Kaushik!
I went the studio for the photoshoot and Mr Batia is proffessional, courteous ,efficient and cheerful. I love my photos and will come again. Highly recommend.
What we offer
Thirty minutes at Northwood, two treatments, and your own picks chosen before you head off.
One current, usable picture across Abbots Langley, Garston and Leavesden who need one current picture.
Editing stops at whatever would have healed on its own: a spot, a hair, a crooked collar.
Why choose us
The sitting runs for thirty minutes or so, worked in short bursts and checked on screen after every run, so angle and lighting get corrected rather than guessed at. Your picks happen before you put your coat back on, and the edit lands that week.
What comes out is what would have gone anyway: a blemish, a hair across the forehead, a collar sitting crooked. Lines, grey and skin texture all stay put, because whoever walks into the meeting has to be whoever was on the page.

Good to know
We can. When someone new joins an Abbots Langley team, we copy the existing lighting, backdrop and crop as closely as we can, so their headshot sits comfortably beside everyone else's on the website.
Clean light, an uncluttered background and a relaxed, confident expression are what make a headshot work. It should look like you on a good day, stay readable as a thumbnail and suit where it will be used.
Yes, always. Acting headshots are delivered in the sizes casting platforms ask for, Spotlight included, as natural head-and-shoulders portraits. Acting headshots are made to read honestly, which is what agents and casting directors look for.
Rarely, which is why the sitting yields two. The plain one is there to keep a company page consistent. The one with depth behind it is for profiles where you appear on your own. Same shirt, same half hour, handled differently. Say at the booking which platforms it has to feed and the crops those want get shot, squares included.
The price depends on whether it is one headshot, a personal-branding session or a whole team day. Send us a few details of what you need and we will reply with clear pricing and no obligation.

At the studio
The studio at The Broadway, 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6 1NU is roughly 7 miles from Abbots Langley, and a headshot sitting there takes little time out of a working day. Headshot sittings are by appointment, passport and ID photos are also taken at the studio, and printing, framing, restoration and scanning happen on site. Headshot sittings fit around the working week: we are open 10:30 to 18:00 Monday to Saturday and 13:00 to 18:00 on Sundays.
Kaushik Bathia takes every headshot himself; he is FBIPP and FMPA, holds five European Kodak Gold Awards and opened the Northwood studio in 2001.
