An individual sitting lasts around 20 to 30 minutes. Kaushik adjusts the angle of your shoulders, the tilt of your chin and the expression around your eyes, frame by frame, checking each one as the sitting goes. Team headshots on site take roughly 5 to 10 minutes per person.
You select the images you want from an online gallery. Each one is retouched naturally, with flyaway hair and temporary marks tidied while lines and character stay, and edited headshots typically arrive within a few working days in sizes ready for the web and for print.

Headshot Photographer in West Hampstead, FAQs
Yes. The background can be chosen to suit where the picture will be used, whether that is a light, neutral look for a corporate site or something darker and moodier for a creative profile. If your firm already has headshots in a particular style, bring an example and the set-up can be matched so new joiners sit comfortably beside existing staff on the website.
Yes. Acting headshots need to look like you on an ordinary good day, with natural light on the face, minimal retouching and an expression that hints at character. Kaushik will work through a few distinct looks, perhaps one warmer and one more serious, so you have options for different kinds of casting.
Sessions are booked in advance, but if a deadline is close it is always worth asking. Call or send a WhatsApp message with the date you need the files by, and the nearest available sitting will be offered. Edited headshots typically come back within a few working days, so allow for that when planning around a launch or a new job.
That depends on what you need. After the sitting you view an online gallery and choose your favourites with no pressure, so you are never committed to a fixed number in advance. One strong image is enough for many uses, while some people want a few variations for different platforms. Ring or WhatsApp for current prices.
Yes. For a West Hampstead business, Kaushik can set up at your premises with matched lighting and background, then photograph each person in roughly 5 to 10 minutes, so the working day is barely interrupted.

Some pieces from our journal that help when preparing for a headshot in West Hampstead.
West Hampstead has a working life of its own, concentrated on the northern stretch of West End Lane and around West End Green, where independent shops, bakeries, delis and restaurants trade side by side. A proprietor there needs a headshot that looks like the person behind the counter: approachable, current, believable on a website or a delivery app. Commuters who leave each morning from one of the three stations, on the Jubilee line, the Overground or Thameslink, often need the opposite, a clean corporate frame for LinkedIn or a company profile. Both are straightforward. For a small team on West End Lane, Kaushik can bring a matched set-up to your premises instead, allowing around 5 to 10 minutes per person, so the shop keeps trading while each colleague steps away briefly. Wear what you would wear to an important meeting, bring a second jacket or top in a different shade, and keep jewellery simple. Retouching is natural: stray hairs and passing blemishes go, but your face stays your own. Within a few working days your edited headshots should follow, ready for screens and printing.
