Headshot sittings for Merton professionals
- Included in the session: Clear direction on posture, expression and angle, frames reviewed together as you go, and carefully retouched finals delivered web-ready and print-ready.
- Where we photograph in Merton: Your office or workplace, for example around Love Wimbledon Business Improvement District, Merton Chamber of Commerce or Mitcham Market, or outdoors nearby for a more relaxed look. We travel from Northwood, about 16 miles away. A sitting at the Northwood studio is also possible if you would rather.
- To book: Ring or WhatsApp 07956 505383, or leave your details in the form below.
One person takes about an hour, of which the greater part is conversation rather than shooting, because the usable expressions only turn up once the camera has stopped being interesting. Frames go up on a screen partway through, while there is still a chance to change the shirt, the parting or the background.
You leave with several finished frames, retouched one at a time rather than run through a filter, and supplied at both screen and print resolution. Nothing is reshaped; a spot goes, your face stays.

Thank you for the photos taken for my son's lookbook. They are fantastic!
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!
My two sisters and I ‘ the golden girls’ had a great, hilarious photo session. Kaushik is very professional and took some amazing photos especially when we were laughing so much trying to get up from the floor. Can’t wait to see ‘air brushed’ version. Well at 75 you need a little help. Definitely recommend Kashuik. He enjoyed our craziness!
Local and experienced
Headshots across London
For a team, we use one fixed setup and write it down, so everyone matches and next year's new starter can be added seamlessly. For actors, arrive as yourself, not in character. A casting director needs to see your resting face before judging which roles you could play.
Bring a spare top in a contrasting colour to your Merton sitting. A different colour alters the picture more than any change of pose. We can photograph one person, or a whole department at a Merton office in a single day on one fixed setup so every portrait matches.

Merton office districts for a working-day headshot
For a headshot taken at work, what matters is the office district, so the notes below cover Merton's business centres and the organisations headquartered in Wimbledon. Follow the link beside each note to check the detail for yourself. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
- Merton business base. Merton Council says the borough has nearly 7,000 businesses providing more than 60,000 jobs, with business premises in the town centres of Wimbledon, Morden, Mitcham, Raynes Park and Colliers Wood and on purpose-built industrial parks. 1
- Colliers Wood station. Colliers Wood is a Zone 3 station on the Northern line. 2
- Abbotsbury Road Market, Morden. The council-run market in Abbotsbury Road, just around the corner from Morden Underground station, trades every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. 3
- South Park Gardens, a 2.4-hectare triangular Victorian garden in a Beaux-Arts style just off Wimbledon Broadway, is on the national Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Interest at Grade II. 4

Good to know
Headshot Photographer in Merton, FAQs
Yes, gladly. Rather than one frame, a personal-branding session builds a small set, so a founder, coach or consultant working around Wimbledon has pictures for LinkedIn, a website, press and social media. We plan a few changes of outfit and setting so the set covers every place you appear online.
Genuinely, yes, and plenty of people feel the same way at first. Gentle, clear direction, one simple instruction at a time, puts nervous people at ease, and the natural expression it draws out is often a pleasant surprise.
Yes, both, and we tailor each sitting to suit. Corporate and LinkedIn portraits should look polished and approachable; actor headshots should look natural and show character. Tell us which you need and we will direct you to match.
Yes, and it is a straightforward job. We copy the lighting, background and crop of your current headshots for anyone new, so the team page stays consistent. The new portraits sit alongside the old ones as a single set, wherever the team is based.
Yes, but lightly. We tidy flyaway hairs, calm shine and remove small distractions, and leave your face looking like you. The aim is polished and professional, never airbrushed.
Serving Merton
A headshot photographer near Merton
From Northwood, Merton is a trip of about 16 miles. It sits close to Wandsworth and Sutton, which we cover too. Headshots can be taken at your Merton office, and travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
Wimbledon is the largest of Merton's commercial centres, alongside Morden and Mitcham, with smaller centres at Raynes Park, Colliers Wood, South Wimbledon and Wimbledon Park. Organisations with head offices in Wimbledon include the CIPD and Zipcar's UK headquarters, and the town has a Business Improvement District, Love Wimbledon, set up after a 2012 vote. The All England club has held its championships at its grounds near Wimbledon Park since 1922, when King George V opened the new courts.

Wimbledon station carries South Western Railway, the District line and Tramlink, and the Northern line finishes its run at Morden. A borough wired that many separate ways is a borough that travels for work, and there is one practical consequence for headshots. The second consequence is harder to solve. People working outside the borough end up on team pages, bid documents and profiles alongside colleagues photographed by whoever their employer used that year, in another room under a different light. A portrait that looks good alone and wrong in that line is failing at the only job it has, so the opening question in a headshot sitting is not what you like. It is what the picture has to sit next to. What then decides the result is separation. At the size a headshot is genuinely viewed, expression carries less weight than the edge between the face and whatever is behind it: dark hair against a dark wall loses that edge completely, and pale skin against white does the same thing at the other end of the scale. We settle that gap before anything else, which is why the first move of the sitting is to bring you away from the wall rather than back against it, and why the wall itself gets lit separately from you.
