- Where it happens: Studio sittings in Northwood, or team sessions at your own offices within about 20 miles.
- Getting to the studio: Hatch End is about 2 miles from the Northwood studio as the crow flies, and the studio is two minutes' walk from Northwood Hills station on the Metropolitan line.
- How to book: Ring or WhatsApp 07956 505383 during opening hours (Monday to Saturday 10:30 to 18:00, Sunday 13:00 to 18:00), or leave your details in the form below.
You get roughly twenty minutes in front of the camera, which is longer than it sounds. We start with the expression most people default to, get it out of the way, and work from there towards something that looks like you on a good day.
You leave having already chosen the frame, seen properly on a screen rather than on a camera back. It comes back retouched to a business standard and cropped square, wide and tight, so you are not asking for another version a week later.

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!
Thank you for the photos taken for my son's lookbook. They are fantastic!
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.

Why choose us
An unhurried headshot sitting for Hatch End professionals
Arrive looking like yourself, not like a role. Casting directors want to see your natural look before they judge the parts you could play. Hair is checked every few frames. A single strand across the forehead is the most common reason an otherwise good headshot needs an hour of retouching afterwards.
A short brief of two outfits, one plain backdrop and one with some context behind you, each cropped tight and loose, covers a LinkedIn profile, a company website, a press request and an email signature. For companies, team packages give every member of staff a matching headshot.

Good to know
Headshot Photographer in Hatch End, FAQs
Studio, in most cases. The reason is repeatability: at the Northwood studio the light is identical in January and in July, so a colleague photographed six months after you sits alongside you without one of the two looking warmer or flatter than the other. On location only earns its place when the office itself has to be visible in the picture, which is rare.
We do indeed. Choices range from a white or soft grey studio backdrop to your own Hatch End workplace, which suits a brand that wants more context. We will help you decide based on where the pictures will be used.
Certainly. Students, graduates and anyone just starting out are welcome, whether the picture is for a first LinkedIn profile or an early acting portfolio. We keep the sitting easy-going, with a confident, professional picture as the aim.
Certainly. Instead of a single image, a personal-branding sitting produces a small library of pictures for founders, coaches and consultants. The finished images work on LinkedIn, company websites, press releases and social profiles. A branding set gives you one consistent look across every online profile.
Solid tones are the safest bet, and busy patterns or large logos are best left at home. Feel free to bring a couple of alternatives. Ahead of your Hatch End session we will happily suggest flattering colours and necklines so you arrive photograph-ready.

Hatch End is residential to a degree that matters for a headshot. It is a corner of Harrow built of period houses and quiet streets rather than office floors, so almost nobody sitting for a business portrait here works within walking distance of their own front door. The picture will be looked at next to whatever their employer already publishes, and that employer is somewhere else entirely. Which is the argument for keeping the background out of the photograph altogether: a plain grey or white behind the head puts the sitter nowhere in particular, and nowhere in particular is exactly right when the audience is a company in a different part of the country. Brick and a green street would tie the image to a place that has nothing to do with the work. The station changes one practical thing. Hatch End sits on the Overground Lioness line in fare zone six, so it is easy to arrive for a headshot on foot from it rather than out of a car. A jacket carried over an arm on a train picks up a horizontal crease across the back that a camera at chest height finds immediately, and shoulders that have spent twenty minutes under a rucksack strap sit unevenly for a while after the bag comes off. Both are fixed by the same two things: hang the jacket up on arrival, and photograph in shirtsleeves first while the wool drops.
