For Wealdstone
One sitting yields two or three variants: a tight crop, a looser one leaving room for type, and a plain backdrop where a company demands it. You watch each land on the screen and choose before we start dismantling.
Retouching removes only what is temporary and changes nothing structural. The lighting recipe gets logged, so a colleague photographed in a year's time lands on the page without a visible seam. Files land as a private link within a few days, squared for a profile and wide for a header.

I recently had a photography session here for my website, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The photographer was incredibly professional, calm, patient, and made me feel comfortable throughout the session. I absolutely love all of the photos, they exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for high-quality, professional photography
…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.
"Kaushik is brilliant photographer and provides a great service, would highly recommend"
What we offer
Studio headshots at Northwood, a short rail trip from Harrow and Wealdstone station, lit to a repeatable recipe.
Team sittings at your own offices, lighting carried in and the ceiling fittings turned off.
Supplied tight for a profile and loose for a banner, both out of the same twenty minutes.
Why choose us
We coach expression rather than asking for it. Giving you something specific to think about brings the eyes to life in a way that a request to smile never does. For casting, retouching goes no further than taking the shine off your forehead. Nothing structural is altered, because a casting director has to recognise you the moment you walk in.
Finished files come in high resolution for print, plus smaller versions ready for online profiles. You pick your favourites with us on screen, and we then finish each one by hand.

Recent work
Wealdstone holds most of Harrow's business land, so a location headshot here would usually be taken at your own workplace during the working day, against an office wall, a workshop or the street outside. The notes below, each tied to a linked source, cover the station, the High Street and the business land nearby.

Good to know
Solid mid tones photograph best: navy, grey, olive, burgundy. Tight checks and thin stripes shimmer once the picture is shrunk small. A spare top in another weight is worth packing, since what decides it is the background it will sit against. Coming in from Wealdstone by rail, carry it and change at Northwood instead of wearing it across town.
Studio, when the frame has to match colleagues or needs a clean backdrop. The lighting is repeatable, so a return sitting a year on still matches. On location, when the point is that people see where you actually work. Northwood is a short rail trip out of Wealdstone, so the usual reason for choosing your own premises is time saved, not distance avoided.
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, hold up as a small thumbnail and suit the job it has to do, from a LinkedIn profile to a casting submission.
Certainly. A personal-branding sitting produces a small library of images rather than a single headshot, useful for founders, coaches and consultants running a business from Wealdstone. The set works for LinkedIn, your website, press use and social media. It gives you one consistent look across every platform you use.
Yes, indeed. Actors from Wealdstone and beyond are welcome, and we shoot characterful, honest frames formatted for Spotlight, casting sites and your agent. Expression matters more than pose, so the person in the picture is the person who turns up to the audition.
Serving Wealdstone
Professionals from anywhere in Wealdstone (HA3) can book a sitting, whether for a single profile picture or a whole team. It sits close to Harrow Weald and Stanmore, which we cover too. Headshots can be taken at the Northwood studio or at your workplace in Wealdstone, depending on what suits you or your team.
Most of Harrow's designated industrial and business land is in Wealdstone, so a team headshot day here might be set up in an office, a workshop or a warehouse. Harrow & Wealdstone station, about 11 miles from Euston, is served by the Bakerloo line, the Lioness line and West Coast Main Line trains, which helps when colleagues come in from different directions. The former Kodak site on Headstone Drive, where the works closed in 2016, is being redeveloped as Eastman Village, and its 213 ft chimney has long been a local landmark.

Harrow and Wealdstone station is unusual for a suburban stop in what it puts on one set of platforms: Bakerloo trains, London Overground services, and West Coast Main Line trains. The upshot is that portraits made here are not all judged by the same eyes. Some sitters commute into central London, where the page their picture joins was assembled by somebody with a studio downstairs and a fixed idea of what a portrait looks like. Others take the fast lines out, and their frame is opened by a client who has never been anywhere near Harrow. Then there is the local consequence of the Kodak works. A district that once answered to one very large employer had an implied house style; a district of many small employers has none at all, so nobody here can assume the convention and be right. So the thing we settle before a sitting is the destination rather than the pose: grey behind or white, a tight crop or space left for type, colour or mono. Once that is known the lighting stops being guesswork, and the same recipe can be repeated in a year when the next person needs adding. Getting here is the simple part. Northwood is a train ride rather than a parking exercise, and a sitting takes less of a working morning than most people expect, which is usually what has stopped it happening sooner.

At the studio
Coming for a headshot from Wealdstone, you will find the studio at The Broadway, 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6 1NU, about 4 miles away. Headshot sittings are booked ahead, and printing, framing, restoration and scanning also happen on site. Headshots can be booked from 10:30 to 18:00 Monday to Saturday or from 13:00 to 18:00 on Sunday, so a Wealdstone commuter can take a sitting on a day off or at the weekend.
Your headshot is taken by Kaushik Bathia himself, FBIPP and FMPA, at the Northwood studio he has run since 2001, and he holds five European Kodak Gold Awards.
