  • What the session includes: Clear direction on posture, expression and angle, frames reviewed together as you go, and carefully retouched finals delivered web-ready and print-ready.
  • Studio or on location: Studio sittings in Northwood, or team sessions at your own offices within about 20 miles.
  • How far: Rayners Lane 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: Call 07956 505383, send a WhatsApp message to the same number, or use the enquiry form on this page.

For anyone living or working in Rayners Lane there are two places a headshot can happen: our room in Northwood, or wherever you work. Headcount usually decides it. One or two people and the studio is simpler; five or more and it is quicker for us to come to you.

Rayners Lane and Northwood are both on the Metropolitan line, so coming to us means one change of train at Harrow-on-the-Hill and no car. We cover North Harrow, South Harrow and Ruislip Manor on the same terms. Bring a spare shirt in a colour unlike the one you arrive in, because the version that works is often the one nobody planned.

…I needed some photos done for my acting career and Kaushik came highly recommended. It was helpful to know he is very experienced in taking photos for this purpose and kindly advised me on what outfits to wear to produce the best photos. Kaushik was very patient, helpful and professional which made it very easy to feel relaxed and comfortable during the shoot.

Local and experienced

Headshots across Greater London

On the day we work in short runs with a look at the screen between them, so you can see what is coming out instead of taking it on trust. Nobody has to hold a fixed expression while a lamp gets moved, and if the shirt you arrived in is not working you will know inside the first few minutes.

You leave with a small finished set rather than a folder to wade through: a tight crop for profile pictures, a looser version that leaves room to crop later, and anything temporary cleaned off the shirt.
