Would 100% recommend Kaushik Bathia Photography! Kaushik and his team photographed all my wedding functions and I couldn't be happier with the results. He listened to us, got to know our family and close one's and captured all the special moments. We had a great mixture of romantic portraits and natural candid photos of the ceremony. Thank you so much for the most beautiful, treasured wedding photos!
…With 5 children aged between 2 and 7, the youngest of whom had just been woken up when we arrived and subsequently mainly wanted Mummy cuddles, it was very lucky for us that he was also very personable, and good at getting the little ones (and adults!) to smile/laugh naturally while looking at the camera!
My daughter and her fiancé went to Kaushik for their photos, and we had a wonderful experience. He is incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful. He really took his time with them and captured beautiful, professional-quality photos. We highly recommend Kaushik Photography!
What we photograph in Perivale
Weddings, families and business shoots in and around Perivale
Perivale is a west London suburb in the Borough of Ealing, famous for the Art Deco Hoover Building on Western Avenue. Sessions run at our studio in Northwood or wherever suits you, whether that is a garden, a business premises or a wedding venue somewhere in Greenford, Alperton and Ealing. Maternity, newborn and first-birthday sittings take place at the Northwood studio, a short drive up from Perivale, and families are welcome back as the children grow.
If you are coming from Perivale with a young baby, the session runs at the child's pace, with time for feeds and settling. Engagements, weddings, maternity, newborn, christenings and birthdays can all be photographed by the same studio as a Perivale family grows. For a graduation, a christening or a milestone birthday, we plan a relaxed session rather than a string of set poses.
Branding and LinkedIn portraits, actors' headshots, events, product work and pet portraits are all part of the studio's day-to-day work. Commercial work, from a start-up's branding to a full staff set, is meant to make a business look credible to the people it serves. For a dog portrait outdoors, Ealing Council welcomes dogs in its parks but asks for leads in some areas and keeps them out of fenced play areas and sports pitches, so we would plan the session around that.

Where to find the studio
Perivale is the smallest of the seven towns in the London Borough of Ealing and shares the UB6 postcode with Greenford. Perivale is a west London suburb of Greenford in the Borough of Ealing, famous for the Art Deco Hoover Building on Western Avenue, and Greenford and Alperton sit close by across Greater London. Close to Perivale, venues include Ealing Golf Club and Greenford Hall.
Perivale sits on the A40 in Ealing, and its parish church of St Mary's, parts of which date from the 12th or 13th century, was the smallest Anglican church in the old county of Middlesex. The parish was dissolved in 1972 and the building is now run as an arts centre by the Friends of St Mary. Perivale station on the Central line sits beside the A40 Western Avenue, with the A406 North Circular a short drive east. When there is time for couple portraits, we can head to Perivale Wood, with the Hoover Building for a memorable setting.
Once we have talked through what you want, we would suggest either the studio or an outdoor spot such as the Grand Union Canal towpath, which runs through the north of Perivale and carries section 9 of the Capital Ring. We listen to what you want and adjust as the session goes, so it feels relaxed rather than staged.

- Horsenden Hill, the park and nature reserve on Perivale's northern edge, rises to 85 m above sea level and its summit forms part of the site of an ancient hillfort. 1

Good to know
Photography in Perivale, frequently asked questions
Yes, because safety comes first every time. The studio is kept warm, we move slowly, and a baby is never put in a position without full support. Several poses seen online are in fact two supported shots merged in editing. You stay close by throughout, and we take our cues from your baby.
Yes. Perivale has two industrial estates, Perivale Park off Horsenden Lane South and Perivale Industrial Estate on Aintree Road, and we can bring portable lighting to your offices there or welcome your team at the studio. Each sitting takes only a few minutes, and the framing and backdrop stay identical, so the whole team ends up with one matching set. Give us the head count and say whether you would rather come to Northwood or have us set up on site, and we will plan the timings.
We follow the children's lead rather than asking them to stay put. Outdoors, the playgrounds and the Gruffalo Trail on Horsenden Hill give restless children something to do, and the pictures come from that movement rather than from asking them to freeze. Sessions stay short with breaks built in, and parents are welcome to join in.
For Perivale bookings, timing depends on whether it is a headshot or a full wedding, and on how busy the season is. Headshots and portraits generally come back within about two weeks, while a wedding gallery is larger and takes longer to edit. If you need them by a particular date, mention it when you book and we will keep you posted.
Yes, gladly. You can come to the studio, or we can meet at Horsenden Hill, the park and nature reserve on Perivale's northern edge, which rises to 85 m above sea level. What you take home should show your family as it is this year, not a stiffly posed version of it.
For a headshot at a Perivale office or workshop, plain well-fitting clothes in colours that suit your trade work best. For a LinkedIn or company portrait, a plain shirt with or without a jacket suits most roles, and busy patterns and logos tend to distract. Press your shirt the night before and bring a second option. Whether we set up on site at Aintree Road or work in the studio, collars and ties get a quick check before the first frame.
Most people feel self-conscious in front of a camera, so there is no hurry. We talk as we work and give simple prompts, such as turning a shoulder or where to rest your eyes. After more than 25 years of nervous sitters, we can tell when someone needs a pause, and the stiffness generally goes after the first few frames.
