Headshot sessions in Oxhey
- What is included: Friendly direction throughout, a chance to review the pictures during the session, and retouched final images ready for web and print; for a team, lighting, framing and crop are kept identical across everyone.
- Where it happens: In the Northwood studio, or at your workplace within about 20 miles for one person or a whole team.
- Distance from the studio: Oxhey is about 2 miles from the studio at 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6 1NU, measured in a straight line; the road distance is longer.
- Booking: Call 07956 505383, send a WhatsApp message to the same number, or use the enquiry form on this page.
Allow forty minutes for one person. We build three versions in the one sitting: a formal frame for a corporate page, a warmer one for a bio, and a tight crop that still reads at thumbnail size.
You pick the frames yourself from the screen before we finish. Retouching covers the blemish that will be gone next week and leaves the line that will not, because a stranger should still recognise you across a reception desk. Files come back inside the week, which matters when a profile is already overdue.

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. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kaushik to anyone looking to have great photographs taken.
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
Headshot photography in Oxhey

Why choose us
Headshots for Oxhey, at the studio or at your desk
Tell us beforehand where the headshot will live and we light and crop for that use. We direct posture, chin and expression throughout, so the finished frame looks easy even if the sitting did not feel it.
For a team, we fix one lighting setup at your office and bring each person through in turn, so a whole department matches on the staff page. A brief of two outfits against a light and a dark background, each cropped square and wide, would give an Oxhey professional enough to cover LinkedIn, a company site, a press request and an email signature.

Headshot Photographer in Oxhey, FAQs
It turns on the size of the job: one person's headshot, a personal-branding session with several looks, or a team day at your premises in Oxhey or Watford. Send a line about what the pictures are for and how many people need them, and written pricing comes back with no obligation.
Usually not. Oxhey sits on the edge of Watford but the working population splits, and a staff page for a Watford employer and a profile aimed at a firm in the centre expect different crops and different backgrounds. The workable answer is to decide before the sitting which one is the main use, then treat the others as crops taken from it rather than as separate photographs.
Please do. Two or three changes give you variety, which matters most for personal branding, where different looks suit LinkedIn, a website and a speaker profile. We will help you choose which changes fit the time you have booked.
Yes. Acting headshots are one of our specialities. Frames are sized for Spotlight, casting sites and your agent, and we direct for natural expression so a casting director sees how you actually look.
Practically, because both options stay open from here. You can sit for it at the Northwood studio, where the lights are put in the same places every visit, or we bring that set-up to your workplace in Oxhey and photograph the team in a morning. If a picture needs doing again in six months, coming back is an errand rather than a project.

A headshot photographer near Oxhey
Oxhey, postcode WD19, is under two miles from the Northwood studio, so a sitting can fit into a lunch break. It sits close to Bushey and Carpenders Park, which we cover too. Come to the studio for a clean backdrop, or we can bring lights to your office in Oxhey or Watford town centre for a contextual look.
Watford town centre, anchored by the glass-roofed Harlequin Watford shopping centre, lies just north of Oxhey, and we can set up lights in an office there as readily as at your home. Bushey station, in fare zone 8 on the edge of Oxhey Village, has London Northwestern Railway trains to London Euston, handy if your sitting falls on a commuting day.

The railway at Carpenders Park points towards Watford Junction, which is useful for getting to work and no use at all for getting to Northwood. Sitters from Oxhey arrive at the studio by road, and that changes one practical thing: a shirt or a jacket travels on a hanger rather than on the person, and goes on in the last few minutes rather than being sat in for half an hour. Creases across the lap and the shoulder are the commonest avoidable fault in a business portrait, and they are put there by a car seat. What the picture has to match matters more than how it looks on its own. Oxhey is residential, so people here work elsewhere, some in Watford and some carried on through the Junction into the centre, and the finished frame lands on a page beside colleagues shot to somebody else's house style. The deciding variable is rarely the lighting. It is the proportion of the frame the head fills. A portrait cropped tighter or looser than the ones already published around it looks wrong to a viewer who could not say why, even when it is the better photograph. So the useful thing to send us first is a link to the page it is going on. Where there is no page yet, we decide in reverse, leaving room to crop in for a small profile picture and room to crop out for a wide website banner.

Studio sessions for Oxhey
The studio is on The Broadway at 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6 1NU, a short drive from Oxhey, and Northwood Hills on the Metropolitan line is the nearest station. Headshot sittings there run by appointment, passport and ID photos need none, and printing, framing, restoration and scanning are done on site. Headshot sittings run from 10:30 to 18:00 Monday to Saturday and 13:00 to 18:00 on Sundays, so someone working in Oxhey or Watford can often come in at lunchtime or straight after work.
Headshots are taken by Kaushik Bathia, FBIPP and FMPA, at the Northwood studio he founded in 2001; his work has won five European Kodak Gold Awards.
