An individual sitting runs for about 20 to 30 minutes. Kaushik adjusts posture, chin and eye line gradually, keeping the conversation going so expressions stay relaxed. On site, team headshots take roughly 5 to 10 minutes per person, and the schedule can be built around shifts and meetings.
Your selection is made from an online gallery after the sitting. Each chosen frame is retouched naturally, removing temporary marks and stray hairs while leaving your features alone, and edited headshots typically arrive within a few working days, ready for the web and for print.

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.
…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.

Good to know
Headshot Photographer in Kilburn, FAQs
Yes. Offices in Kilburn, about 10 miles from Northwood, fall inside the roughly 20-mile area where headshots are taken on site. A matched background and lighting set-up is brought to your office, and each person is photographed in about 5 to 10 minutes. A spare meeting room is usually all that is needed.
Good light on the face, a simple background, and an expression that looks engaged rather than posed. The eyes should be sharp and attentive, as if listening, and the shoulders angled rather than square to the camera. Clothing should be plain and well fitted. The aim is a picture that looks like you at your best, rather than someone else.
Team headshots at your premises take about 5 to 10 minutes per person once everything is set. Retouched files typically arrive a few working days after you make your choice.
Yes, naturally. Retouching removes things that will not be there next week, such as a blemish, a stray hair or a crease in a collar, and evens out the light. It does not reshape faces or smooth away character, because a headshot should match the person who turns up to the meeting.
Please do. Two or three options give flexibility: perhaps a jacket for formal profiles and an open collar for a friendlier look. Choose solid colours and avoid tight patterns, which can shimmer on screen. Bring everything on hangers, and if you are unsure, bring the extra option anyway and decide on the day.

Guides
Headshot guides for Kilburn
Headshot reading from our journal, handy before a Kilburn sitting.
Kilburn is unusually well served by public transport, with Kilburn station on the Jubilee line, Kilburn High Road on the London Overground and Kilburn Park on the Bakerloo line, so a resident commuting elsewhere often needs a headshot that travels well: LinkedIn, a staff page, a conference programme. Others work locally, in the shops and businesses along Kilburn High Road or in the arts, around venues such as Kiln Theatre, and want a picture that feels approachable rather than corporate. An individual sitting takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and the lighting and background are fixed, so a headshot taken today will sit neatly beside one taken for a colleague later. Teams can book a matched set-up at their own premises instead, at roughly 5 to 10 minutes per person. Bring two tops in plain colours, one lighter and one darker, and avoid fine patterns. Kaushik guides angle and expression throughout, retouching is natural, and edited files typically arrive within a few working days.
