During the sitting Kaushik works through a handful of expressions, from confident and direct to warm and approachable, guiding small adjustments to posture and angle. You can see the images as they are taken and steer towards the look you want.
Your retouched headshots normally reach you inside a few working days. Editing is natural, tidying temporary marks and stray hairs while keeping your real features, and the files are sized for online profiles, websites and print.

Excellent service! I went to Kaushik for a headshot photo - the entire process was quick and professional & the photos were high-quality, edited fantastically and exactly what I needed!
Perfect place to get headshot or passport photos taken! High quality, great speed, professional, edited to perfection.
I did a fabulous photoshoot with Kaushik and thoroughly enjoyed it! I was very nervous, but he made me feel at ease! I will hopefully return for another one at a later date!
What we offer
Business and LinkedIn headshots in a 20 to 30 minute sitting in Northwood.
Acting headshots with natural light and minimal retouching for casting use.
On-site team sessions at about 5 to 10 minutes per person, all matched.
25+ years behind the lens
For a LinkedIn profile the background is usually kept plain, so your face has nothing to compete with. Every headshot rests on a clean backdrop, flattering light and clear, honest direction.
Each sitting runs through a few expressions and looks, so there is more than one strong frame to choose from. You go through the frames together with Kaushik and pick favourites before they are finished by hand.

Good to know
Yes. Acting headshots are lit naturally and retouched only lightly, because casting directors need to see how you really look. The session covers a range of expressions and, with a change of top, a few different looks. Check with your agent about their preferred style and crop before you book.
Yes. The two need different approaches. Professional headshots are polished and confident, designed for LinkedIn and company websites, while acting headshots are more natural, with minimal retouching and a focus on the eyes. Tell Kaushik which you need when booking, and the lighting and direction will be set accordingly.
Yes. Personal-branding sessions go beyond one headshot, giving you a set of formal, casual and working images for your website, social profiles and marketing. For a Burnt Oak business owner, part of the session could be at your premises on the Broadway or Watling Avenue to show where you work.
Yes. The studio has a choice of backdrops, from white and pale grey to darker tones, chosen to suit where the headshot will appear and any company style. If you need to match existing staff photographs, bring an example and the background and lighting can be set to it.
Yes. Send a few of the current headshots and the background, light direction, framing and crop can be copied so the new ones sit alongside them. If the originals were taken at your premises, the same arrangement can be set up there again, with each person photographed in about 5 to 10 minutes.
Serving Burnt Oak
Burnt Oak, a Barnet district on the Edgware branch of the Northern line, is inside the Greater London area we cover for headshots. It sits close to Colindale and Edgware, which we cover too. Burnt Oak professionals can also sit for their headshot at the Northwood studio.
Burnt Oak sits in the London Borough of Barnet and grew around the Watling Estate, built by the London County Council between the wars as 'Homes fit for Heroes'. Since 2007 the Watling Estate has been a conservation area, and its community identity remains strong. Burnt Oak station on the Northern line's Edgware branch serves headshot clients heading out by Tube, and the Watling Estate conservation area is the local landmark.

Burnt Oak town centre is unusual in straddling three boroughs, Barnet, Brent and Harrow, with its shops and businesses along the Broadway and Watling Avenue, and the A5 Edgware Road running through on the line of the old Roman Watling Street. Whether you run a shop on one of those parades, work in an office nearby or commute into central London on the Northern line from Burnt Oak station, a current headshot is one of the simplest ways to look professional online. A sitting at the Northwood studio, about 6 miles from Burnt Oak, takes about 20 to 30 minutes and produces a clean, well-lit image that works at thumbnail size on LinkedIn and at full width on a website. For a business with several staff, the set-up can be brought to your premises instead, giving each person about 5 to 10 minutes in front of an identical background so the whole team matches. Actors and performers can book too, with lighting kept natural and retouching light. For the sitting, bring a jacket, a plain shirt or top, and one change in another colour so the set has variety. Finished, retouched files normally follow within a few working days.
