A small room is enough
A meeting room of about three metres by four with a power socket is all Kaushik needs to set up a full headshot studio in your Kent office.
Headshot Photographer in Kent
Consistent, natural headshots for Kent firms and professionals, photographed in your own office so nobody loses a working day, or at the studio in Northwood.
The short answer
Can a headshot photographer come to our office in Kent?
Yes. Kaushik brings a portable backdrop and lights to offices across Kent, from Dartford and the Bluewater area to Maidstone, Ashford and Canterbury, and sets up in a meeting room so staff can step out in turn to a timetable agreed with you. Every person is lit the same way, so the team page looks consistent. Travel from Northwood is quoted up front and set out in writing before you book, with the session price given on request.
Our usual session area is within about 20 miles of the studio. Further out in Kent, sessions are by arrangement, with travel quoted in writing before you book.
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
…Kaushik knows his stuff and is very friendly and helpful, ready to go that extra mile to provide a really good service. He made us feel relaxed, comfortable and very much at home throughout the session - these details are so important to help you look your best. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kaushik to anyone looking to have great photographs taken.
I required some portrait shots to be taken. Mr Bhatia, did an amazing job, Very friendly and extremely professional and knowledgeable.I would highly recommend.

Setting up a headshot studio in your Kent office
For most firms the simplest answer is to bring the studio to you. Kaushik needs a meeting room or a quiet corner of about three metres by four, a power socket, and somewhere for people to check their hair. He arrives early, builds the backdrop and lights, and tests the set-up on whoever is free first.
Staff then come in one at a time, to a timetable we agree with you beforehand. We take a range of expressions and a couple of angles for each person before moving on to the next, so the working day carries on around the set-up. For a Kent business, keeping people at their desks matters far more than the cost of one person's commute to a studio.
Because everyone is lit and framed the same way, the results sit neatly together on a website team page, in a tender document or on LinkedIn. See corporate headshots for how team days work and the formats we deliver.
Where Kent works
Kent's business centres, from Bluewater to Maidstone
Kent's working life is spread across several centres. Maidstone is the county town and the largest town in Kent, with Maidstone Borough Council's main offices at Maidstone House on King Street. In the Medway towns, Gillingham is the largest, forming a conurbation with Chatham, Rochester, Strood and Rainham, and Medway Council is based at Gun Wharf in Chatham.
On the London side, Bluewater opened in 1999 in a former chalk quarry just outside Dartford and has around 210 stores. Dartford station is the busiest in Kent, where the North Kent, Bexleyheath and Dartford Loop lines meet. Further east, high-speed trains run from Ashford International to St Pancras, and Canterbury has three universities with about 31,000 students and the academic and support staff to match.
Wherever your office is, the set-up is the same. What changes is the distance: an office in Dartford is about 30 miles from Northwood, and one in Canterbury about 68. Travel from Northwood to your premises is set out in your written quote, so the cost of an on-site day is clear before you commit.
Individuals
LinkedIn and personal headshots for Kent professionals
Not everyone needs a team day. Consultants, solicitors, estate agents, coaches and job hunters often need one good headshot quickly, and for a single person the trip can work either way. Kaushik can come to your home office in Sevenoaks or Tonbridge, or you can visit the studio if you are travelling into London anyway.
A LinkedIn headshot needs to look like you on a good day: clear eyes, a relaxed jaw and nothing distracting in the background. We guide your posture and expression rather than leaving you to guess, and take enough frames to give you a choice. Wear what you would wear to meet an important client, with a spare top in a different colour.
For more personal or creative images, such as for a website about page or a book jacket, see portrait photography in Kent. The standard headshot session page explains how individual bookings work at the studio.
Studio
Kent office or Northwood studio: choosing between them
The studio at 21 Joel Street, Northwood Hills, is two minutes from Northwood Hills station on the Metropolitan line. For one or two people who are already in north-west London, or who want a particular coloured backdrop and complete control over the light, it is the efficient choice. It can also be combined with a meeting in London.
For five or more people in one Kent office, it nearly always works out better for Kaushik to come to you. We will tell you honestly which option suits once we know how many people, where you are and how quickly you need the files.
Planning
Planning a Kent team headshot day
Send a list of names, roles and any people who can only attend at certain times. Ask staff to bring a choice of tops and to avoid fine stripes or tiny checks, which can shimmer on screen. If your brand has a colour, tell us and we can match the background or keep it neutral so it works anywhere.
If some staff are away on the day, a short follow-up visit or a studio appointment can be matched to the same lighting so new photos sit alongside the originals. That consistency is useful for firms with offices in more than one Kent town, or for new starters later in the year. The Kent photographer page and the Kent commercial photography page cover the other work we do for businesses.

Good to know
Headshots in Kent: questions answered
We give Kent headshot prices on request by phone or WhatsApp on 07956 505383. A team day is priced on the number of people and the time on site, and the travel from Northwood to your Kent office is set out in writing alongside it.
A room or quiet area of about three metres by four, with a power socket, is enough for the backdrop and lights. A window helps but is not essential, because Kaushik brings his own lighting.
A single sitting at the studio or at your Kent home takes around 20 to 30 minutes, with time for a change of top. For a team day in an office, we agree a timetable with you beforehand so people know when to come down.
Often, yes. Send an example and we will match the background colour, crop and lighting style as closely as possible so new and old photos sit together on your website.
Yes. Kaushik can come to your home or office in Kent, or you can visit the Northwood studio. For one person who is already travelling into London, the studio is usually quicker and simpler.
Retouched headshots are delivered as quickly as possible after the shoot, and we can prioritise one or two images if you have an urgent deadline. Tell us when you book.
Yes. Ashford is about 62 miles from Northwood and Canterbury about 68, and both are covered for team days. The distance is reflected in the travel shown on your written quote.
