In short
Kaushik Bathia is an award winning photographer based in nearby Northwood, photographing weddings, portraits, families, headshots and commercial work in Newham and across Greater London for over twenty five years. We read the room before we shoot, matching our energy to yours, quiet where quiet suits and lively where it does not, so the pictures reflect how the day actually felt. Weddings, engagements, families, newborns, headshots, commercial shoots and pet portraits, plus framing and photo restoration, are all handled under one roof for Newham. Twenty five years in, we run a permanent studio in Northwood, so we are not a passing operation; you can find us, meet us and come back to us for years. Studio sittings and on location shoots are both available, and we travel across Greater London from our Northwood base, so wherever you are it is an easy journey.
What we photograph in Newham
Newham is a fast-changing east London borough. The studio in Northwood suits headshots and portraits, and for weddings and events we work at venues, churches and temples across Tower Hamlets, Barking and Dagenham. A classic white wedding and a vibrant Asian celebration ask different things of a photographer, and we bring the experience to handle both without missing a beat.
From the proposal to the wedding, then the first baby and the first birthday, many of our clients return to us as their family grows. From bump to newborn to that first wobbly birthday, our sessions with young families are unhurried, and we work at the pace the child sets on the day. We photograph the days a family circles on the calendar, the wedding, the arrival of a baby, the first birthday, the graduation and the anniversary years later.
Headshots for professionals and actors, branding and product photography for businesses, and coverage for corporate events keep our commercial diary full through the week. Old photographs fade and tear, so we restore them, and we frame prints, enlarge favourites and take passport and visa pictures that meet the official requirements. We shoot professional headshots, LinkedIn and acting portfolios, and business branding sets, then step into product photography and corporate event coverage as the working week demands.

Services in Newham
Across Newham
Photography in Newham is part of our regular work. Newham is a fast-changing east London borough, and we reach North Harrow, Northwood and the rest of Tower Hamlets, Barking and Dagenham with ease. Close to Newham, we have worked at venues including East Ham Town Hall, The Grove Banqueting and Crown Banqueting Suite.
A fast-changing east London borough, one of the capital's most ethnically diverse, and host of the 2012 Olympic Games. Served by Stratford station on the Elizabeth line, Jubilee line and DLR, with the A13 crossing the borough. For portraits away from the celebration, West Ham Park, managed by the City of London works beautifully, and The London Stadium in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park adds a real sense of place.
We keep things calm and personal from the very first message, taking the time to understand you before we ever pick up the camera. Every shoot begins with a proper conversation about the people, the mood and the details that matter to you, so nothing feels rushed on the day.

Why Newham chooses us
We have photographed more than a thousand couples, and each one taught us something, so you are drawing on a quarter of a century of hard-won judgement, not a first attempt. A studio you can walk into, twenty five years of history and a thousand weddings covered are the sort of credentials that tell you the basics are safe before we even discuss your shoot.
We photograph clients in Newham and cover the surrounding towns across Tower Hamlets, Barking and Dagenham from our Northwood base. Northwood puts us within easy reach of Newham, and we take on location bookings throughout Tower Hamlets, Barking and Dagenham.
We offer fine-art albums built to last, with archival papers, considered layouts and covers you choose, all put together by hand at the studio. A couple of weeks after the session, you receive a curated gallery, choose the frames you love and let us handle the printing and framing.

Good to know
Yes, our Northwood studio is easy to reach whether you drive or use public transport, with parking close by. It is a straightforward journey from Newham and much of Greater London, and we can send directions when you book. Do allow a few extra minutes so you arrive relaxed rather than rushed for your session.
Every image we deliver is hand edited for colour, exposure and tone so the set looks consistent and polished. We keep the style natural rather than heavily filtered, so your photos still look like real life. If a particular image is chosen for an album or a large print, we give it extra attention.
Our approach is relaxed and documentary, so the day feels natural rather than staged. We capture real moments, expressions, and details as they happen, stepping in gently for the group shots that matter to you. The result tells the story of your day honestly, and our European Gold awards reflect the care behind every set of images.
Stick to well fitted, plain clothing in colours that suit your profession. A shirt, or a shirt and jacket, works for most business and LinkedIn portraits, while strong patterns and logos are best avoided. Make sure your top is freshly pressed, and bring a spare if you can. We will help with any final adjustments.
Yes, we regularly photograph teams either at our studio or on location at your offices across Greater London. We set up consistent lighting and a matching background so everyone looks like one set, then move people through quickly to limit disruption. New starters can be added later using the same setup for a seamless result.
Yes, photo restoration is one of our valued studio services. We work carefully on faded, torn, creased, or water-damaged prints, repairing them digitally so the picture is brought back to life while staying true to the original. Restored images can then be reprinted, enlarged, or framed. Bring your old photograph in and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
