For Bushey
Slots are deliberately short, around thirty minutes, and most of that goes on your jaw, shoulders and hands rather than on moving lights. We turn the camera round early so you can see what a centimetre of chin does before we commit to a direction.
You choose your frame before you leave. Retouching removes the temporary only: a blemish, a stray hair, a collar sitting crooked. Delivery is a square crop, a wider crop and an uncropped master, so one sitting serves every template you get asked for.

…Kaushik knows his stuff and is very friendly and helpful, ready to go that extra mile to provide a really good service. He made us feel relaxed, comfortable and very much at home throughout the session - these details are so important to help you look your best. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kaushik to anyone looking to have great photographs taken.
It was a pleasure working with Kaushik who managed to help me at short notice to provide official photos for professional use at very short notice and was able to support me whilst abroad. Thanks and would highly recommend their services.
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 offer
Thirty-minute headshot slots at the Northwood studio, with consecutive bookings held for colleagues travelling in together.
Send an existing team page and we match its background tone and framing instead of guessing at it.
You pick the frame before you leave; square, wide and uncropped versions are delivered for every use.
Headshot work since 2001, FBIPP and FMPA
Before the sitting we ask where the pictures will appear, then light and crop for that purpose. Most people need two expressions: warm and open for a profile picture, level and serious for a company page, press release or speaker biography.
A personal-branding sitting produces a small set of pictures for your website, social channels and press use. Actors receive frames sized and formatted for Spotlight, casting websites and their agent.

Good to know
A settled, natural expression, clean light and a plain background do most of the work. It needs to look like you at your best, stay readable as a small thumbnail and fit where it will be used.
We go through the frames together at the end, and you pick the ones to be retouched. A single headshot sitting usually ends with one or two finished images, while personal-branding and team bookings deliver a larger set.
Yes, though always gently. Flyaway hairs, shine and small distractions are dealt with, while your features stay your own. The finished picture should look professional without ever looking processed.
The price depends on the booking: one headshot, a personal-branding sitting or a whole team day. Send a line on what you need and a written price comes back, with no obligation.
Yes, and each is lit and directed differently. Business and LinkedIn headshots aim for polished but approachable, while an actor's headshot stays natural and shows character for casting directors. Say which kind you need when you book and the sitting is planned around it.
Serving Bushey
Bushey is in Hertsmere borough and the WD23 postcode district, a short drive from the Northwood studio. It sits close to Watford and Oxhey, which we cover too. Travel to Bushey is not charged, although for headshots we would usually suggest the studio, where the light can be matched from one sitter to the next.
For a personal-branding picture with some local context, the High Street and Melbourne Road form a conservation area that Hertsmere Borough Council last reviewed in 2009. Bushey station, open since 1841, has London Overground Lioness line trains and London Northwestern Railway services, useful for colleagues coming in from Watford Junction or Euston. Bushey Rose Garden, created in 1913 by Thomas Mawson with Sir Hubert von Herkomer, offers an outdoor alternative for a less formal portrait.

The same studio, experience and personal care apply to every service we offer in Bushey. Explore the rest: we also cover headshot photography across Hertfordshire, including Radlett, Maple Cross, Hemel Hempstead, Rickmansworth, St Albans and Carpenders Park.
Bushey station has direct Lioness line trains to Euston, so a Bushey professional may well work alongside colleagues based in central London. The consequence for a headshot is not about travel. It is about the standard the picture has to meet. If the people you work alongside are photographed in central London, your portrait ends up next to theirs on the same page, and that convention is narrow: even light with no colour cast, a background of one tone holding no detail, a crop that keeps the shoulders square, and an expression that reads as settled rather than cheerful. Matching it is a room problem rather than a location problem, which is why we do headshots at the studio at The Broadway, 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6 instead of somewhere in Bushey. Nothing outdoors stays still enough for a set of pictures whose whole job is to match each other. One detail changes the lighting. Where a sitter wears a head covering, the key light has to come from further forward and lower than it otherwise would, because a high light drops a hard line from the brim or fabric edge straight across the eyes, and the eyes are the only part of a headshot that survives being shrunk to a circle a few millimetres wide. The same applies to anyone with a strong brow. Book either side of the working day rather than the middle of it. A sitting taken before the first meeting of the morning is calmer than one squeezed into a lunch hour, and it shows in the jaw.
