Studio in Northwood HA6 · free consultation
Sudbury and nearby
We set up in whatever room happens to be free and work around whatever else is going on that morning. The lighting is ours, so nobody has to find a window or clear a wall in advance.
Twenty minutes of photographing is normally plenty for one person, including a change of shirt if you bring one. You choose from a gallery, the picks are retouched one at a time, and files arrive as a square crop and a wider version that leaves space for a headline.
Check availability
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.
Excellent service! I went to Kaushik for a headshot photo - the entire process was quick and professional & the photos were high-quality, edited fantastically and exactly what I needed!
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!
What we offer
We arrive in Sudbury with lighting, stands and background; the room only has to lend a corner.
Distance and focal length logged at each sitting, so next year's picture belongs beside this one.
Plain-background headshots made in Northwood when the workplace itself should stay out of the picture.
Local and experienced
After the sitting we pick the strongest frames together, then retouch the chosen ones lightly. Personal branding sessions include a few different looks, so the same sitting serves your website and your social profiles.
Retouching is light: shine softened and stray hairs tidied, with your face left as it is. Each sitting mixes relaxed and more formal frames, so one visit covers a LinkedIn picture and a company profile.

Recent work
A headshot on location would be planned around your working day: a creative in a Wembley studio space, a shopkeeper on Sudbury Parade, or a commuter photographed near Sudbury Town station before work. Each place below comes from a linked council or reference source, picked because it is where people from Sudbury trade, commute or work.

Good to know
Yes. We cover Sudbury, along with Sudbury Hill, Perivale and North Wembley. Lighting, stands and background come with us, so what your side supplies is a corner of a room, a couple of paces of floor and a plug socket. A room without windows is fine. Where the picture should show no office at all, we would use the Northwood room instead.
Often, yes. Since we come out to Sudbury there is no venue to book and no room to hire, so a single headshot can sometimes happen inside a few days. Give us the deadline at the enquiry and you will get a straight answer about whether it is realistic. Edited files normally follow within a few days of the sitting itself.
Yes. We take acting headshots as well as corporate ones. Frames are kept honest and expressive rather than staged, and supplied in the formats Spotlight, casting sites and agents ask for.
Yes. Acting headshots are delivered at the sizes Spotlight and other casting platforms specify. They are framed as simple head-and-shoulders portraits, which is what agents and casting directors want to see.
The turnaround is quick. Retouched picks normally reach you within a few days, sooner if a deadline is close. Mention any audition or launch date when you book.
Serving Sudbury
We photograph headshot sessions right across Greater London, and Sudbury (HA0) is well within our regular patch. It sits close to Wembley and North Harrow, which we cover too. When a plain background suits the picture better than your office, the Northwood studio is there for it.
Sudbury lies just west of Wembley, and Brent Council lists Second Floor Studios & Arts at Maple House, Empire Way, Wembley among the borough's affordable workspaces. Sudbury Town station sits in zone 4 on the Uxbridge branch of the Piccadilly line. Charles Holden rebuilt it in 1930-31 in brick, concrete and glass, and it is now Grade II* listed.
More in Sudbury
The same studio, experience and personal care apply to every service we offer in Sudbury. Explore the rest: we also cover headshot photography across Greater London, including Hillingdon, Northwood, North Harrow, Chiswick, South Ruislip and Ruislip.
Sudbury Town is on the Uxbridge branch of the Piccadilly line, and a headshot can be booked for one person as easily as for a whole department. That is easy to organise and hard to match afterwards. Two pictures can share a wall, a lens and an identical shirt and still refuse to sit next to one another, because what separates them is how far away the camera stood. A face recorded from a metre carries a heavier nose and smaller ears than the same face recorded from three, and no edit repairs that. So the working distance and the focal length get noted alongside the lighting, and a repeat sitting is rebuilt to those numbers instead of guessed at. For most people here the real choice is between their own workplace and the Northwood studio, and the deciding question is what the finished picture is meant to say. If it should say nothing about location, the studio does that better, since a controlled wall does not shift with the sky. If it should say where somebody works, we carry the lighting out and the room need only offer a corner. Glasses are worth raising at the enquiry, not on the morning itself. Reflections are solved by lifting the light and tilting the arms down a degree or two, which takes seconds when it is expected and eats half a sitting when it is not.

At the studio
From Sudbury the studio is about 5 miles away at The Broadway, 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6 1NU; by Tube, Northwood Hills on the Metropolitan line is closest. Headshot sittings there are booked ahead, and the studio also handles prints, frames, old photographs and negatives in house. The studio also takes passport and ID photos. Headshot sittings can be booked within our hours, Mon to Sat 10:30 to 18:00 and Sun 13:00 to 18:00, so a working-day slot or a Sunday afternoon both work.
Your headshot is taken by Kaushik Bathia himself, a fellow of the BIPP and the MPA with five European Kodak Gold Awards, who has worked from Northwood since 2001.
