For Ruislip Manor
Two backgrounds and two crops come as standard: a tight head that still reads once a website shrinks it to a thumbnail, and a wider frame that leaves room for type. You choose from the edit rather than hoping that one of them happens to fit.
The lighting positions go into a note kept against your name. That is what lets a colleague photographed months later be matched to this sitting rather than approximated to it, without anybody being asked back.

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 had a photoshoot recently and it was such a great experience. Everyone was lovely and made us comfortable. The pictures looks great as well I am very pleased. I will definitely come back when the opportunity arises again,
What we offer
Headshots taken at Northwood, or beside the desk where the work itself actually gets done.
Two backgrounds and two crops as standard, so profile pictures and company pages each get what they need.
Lighting recorded against your name, so a colleague photographed months later still matches this team.
Headshots by an FBIPP and FMPA photographer
We finish only the frames you choose, and with a light hand, so the result still looks like you on a good morning. For a LinkedIn profile a plain background usually works best, leaving your face as the only thing to look at.
Expect to try a few expressions and at least two looks, so the session gives you more than one frame worth using. One outfit is enough for most corporate profiles, though a second, perhaps with the jacket off, gives you twice the uses for very little extra time in the chair.

Good to know
Yes. Send us a couple of the current pictures and we will match their lighting, background and crop as closely as possible, so new starters fit in beside the rest of the team.
A good headshot pairs a confident, natural expression with clean light and a background that never distracts. It should look like you on a good day and still read clearly as a small thumbnail, whether it sits on LinkedIn, a company page or a casting submission.
Yes, and we keep the retouching light. We tidy flyaway hairs, calm any shine and even out small blemishes, while your face, lines and character stay exactly as they are. The aim is a polished, professional result that never looks plastic or over-edited.
Not long at all. Your retouched selects usually follow within a few days, and a pressing deadline can be moved to the front. If you are booking to a deadline, let us know your timeframe and we will make it work.
Before you leave, we go through the frames together on screen and you pick the ones to retouch. One or two finished images come with a standard headshot booking, and personal-branding or team bookings include more, sized to how the pictures will be used.
Serving Ruislip Manor
We make headshots for professionals across Greater London, and HA4 is close enough that travel to an office in Ruislip Manor is not charged. It sits close to Ruislip and South Ruislip, which we cover too. For a headshot we can light you at the studio, or bring a portable setup to your office or home in Ruislip Manor, whichever fits the working day.
Ruislip Manor is a largely residential part of the London Borough of Hillingdon, with Victoria Road as its main shopping parade. Ruislip Manor station, on Victoria Road (HA4 9AA), is served by the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines. For an outdoor frame with some character, Manor Farm, north of Ruislip High Street, has a 13th-century Great Barn and the remains of a Norman motte-and-bailey castle.

Ruislip Manor is residential almost the whole way through, and that is where the local headshot problem starts, because the obvious place to take one is a front room. Interwar houses put a bay on the front elevation, and a bay is a wide, low, three-sided window. It is a great deal of daylight, which is why people try to use it, and it is the wrong shape for a head: three planes of glass send light in from three directions at once, so there is no single direction to model against, and the face lands bright and structureless. Depth is the second problem. These front rooms are shallow and the ceilings are low, so a sitter finishes up close to the wall behind and throws a shadow onto it. Neither fault is repaired by a better camera or a brighter day. Both are repaired by choosing the direction the light arrives from, which is the entire argument for a room kept for the purpose. Our room in Northwood is inside the same borough, and the Metropolitan line linking the two already calls at this station, so getting there is a diary question rather than a logistics one. What that buys is light with one direction, a background chosen instead of inherited, and a written record of how it was set, which is what allows somebody photographed a year later to match the people already in place rather than merely resemble them at a glance.
