…Kaushik is incredibly talented, artistic, and truly gifted with a photographer’s vision. He knows exactly what he wants each frame to look like and how to get the best out of his subjects. Honestly, there were moments during the shoot when I’d wonder, “What is he making me do?” – but when I saw the final shots, I was blown away. Every image looked beautiful, intentional, and natural.
Had a wonderful experience at Kaushik Bathia photography. He was really patient with my kids , encouraging them to smile while always looking for the best angle to make the photos great.
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 photograph in Islington
Newborns, graduations and grand celebrations
Islington is a fashionable inner north London borough. Sessions run wherever suits you, whether that is a garden, a business premises or a wedding venue somewhere in Camden, Hackney. Graduations, milestone birthdays and family reunions deserve more than a phone snap, and we make portraits of those days that will still look good on the wall decades on.
A formal family group or a loose walk around Caledonian Park and its 1853 clock tower are equally fine with us, and we match the mood to your family. Maternity and newborn sessions need patience and a warm, quiet room, so a newborn session can take place at your home in Islington, at the baby's pace.
Professional and acting headshots get unhurried attention, and corporate events and product shoots the same care, whether the setting is an office on Upper Street or a hall such as the Business Design Centre, built in 1862 as the Royal Agricultural Hall. For businesses around Upper Street we photograph events, headshots and products, giving a small shop's range the same commercial eye as a boardroom portrait.

Good to know
Photography in Islington, frequently asked questions
It means photographing what actually happens, rather than setting up every frame. We watch, follow the rhythm of the day and let real expressions lead. So a wedding at Islington Town Hall or a morning on Highbury Fields comes back looking relaxed and recognisably yours.
For a headshot aimed at Islington clients, a plain, well-cut outfit in colours that fit your profession works better than anything busy. For most LinkedIn and business portraits a shirt, with or without a jacket, is right, and bold patterns or logos are best left at home. Press your shirt beforehand and pack a spare. Before the first shot, collars, cuffs and ties get a quick check so nothing distracts from your face.
Yes. Each sitting is short, and the framing and background are matched so the finished set looks consistent on your website. Send us the head count and we will plan the running order around your working day.
No, you receive an edited selection rather than the whole card. Repeats, blinks and glances away are taken out, and the strongest frames are finished by hand.
Of course. When the gallery is ready, prints in a range of sizes can be ordered directly through us. Favourite frames can be enlarged and framed, ready to hang.
Yes, every picture from an Islington session is worked on one at a time, by hand. Exposure, colour and tone are balanced for each picture, with natural retouching only where it helps, so nothing looks over-processed. For headshots destined for an Islington firm's website, a little extra refinement is available on request, and we would agree the finish with you first.
