Pet photography from Ravenscourt Park to the Fulham riverside
- Included in the session: Time for your pet to settle before the session starts, treats and familiar toys to catch the right expression, and a finished set of characterful portraits; prints and canvases are available afterwards.
- Where we photograph in Hammersmith and Fulham: Your home or garden, or a walk at Bishops Park, Ravenscourt Park or Furnivall Gardens. We travel from Northwood, about 11 miles away. The Northwood studio is there too, if you ever prefer it.
- To book: Call 07956 505383, send a WhatsApp message to the same number, or use the enquiry form on this page.
Pet sessions cover Hammersmith and Fulham along with Shepherd's Bush, Barons Court and Chiswick, and can happen on ground the animal already uses. Dogs make up most of the diary; cats and rabbits get covered indoors at your address, so nothing needs a carrier or a car journey.
The technique that earns its keep is prefocusing. A good expression on a dog lasts about a second, so we set focus on a point it is going to run through and wait there, instead of following it around a park and arriving a beat late every time. Pricked ears come out of that, not out of luck.

…Kaushik has photographed our family on a number of occasions, and the experience has always been fantastic. Not only is the time that he spends with us very enjoyable, it is also a very relaxed experience as Kaushik manages to take phenomenal photos of you and your family in your everyday environment. Therefore, the photos always look very natural and relaxed.
Amazing experience with Kaushik Bathia photography. Professionalism and picture quality are top notch. My wife is extremely impressed with the pictures and we received them right on time for the holidays.
Beautiful family photos, everyone was made to feel comfortable and relaxed so we got lovely photos with everyone smiling and happy. Photographs are beautiful. Thank you!

How a dog session in the borough runs
Bring whatever actually works on your dog, whether that is a squeaky toy, cheese or a tennis ball, and tell us in advance if the recall is unreliable, because it decides where we meet.
Sessions are deliberately short. We stop while the animal is still interested rather than pushing on towards a set number of frames. Any training line in shot is painted out in editing, so the finished pictures show the dog and nothing attached to it. You see the edited set in a private gallery within a few days.

Dog exercise areas and riverside parks for a pet session
Outdoors, we would build a Hammersmith and Fulham pet session around a dog exercise area or quiet lawn, well back from the river edge. The riverside gardens and parks below are summarised from published sources, with dog areas noted. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
- Furnivall Gardens on Lower Mall is a Green Flag riverside park beside the Thames, laid out in 1951 for the Festival of Britain on the site of Hammersmith Creek, with riverside boat clubs next to it and a dog exercise area. 1
- Off-lead dog exercise in H&F parks. Hammersmith & Fulham Council says the majority of its parks and open spaces have areas where dogs can exercise freely off a lead; its dog-control consultation, which closed in January 2023, proposed keeping dogs out of children's playgrounds, sports courts, multi-use games areas and marked pitches, and on leads in wildlife conservation areas and cemeteries. 2
- Brook Green in Hammersmith (W6 7PB) is a green with a wildflower meadow, tennis courts, grass pitches and a playground for younger children, where dogs are allowed with some dog-free zones. 3
- Ravenscourt Park, a 32-acre Green Flag park that opened to the public in 1888 on an estate once laid out by Humphry Repton, has a walled garden, a lake that was part of a medieval manor moat and a dog exercise area, two minutes from Ravenscourt Park station. 4

Good to know
Pet Photographer in Hammersmith and Fulham, FAQs
Yes. As well as the digital gallery, we supply fine prints, framed pictures and canvases, so a favourite can hang at home in Hammersmith or Fulham. We will help you pick a size and finish for the wall you have in mind.
No, it is the normal case, and it changes the running order rather than the result. The running frames are made first, while there is fuel in it, and the settled sit-and-look pictures are kept back for the end. Along the Hammersmith and Fulham riverside we would stay on the grass above the wall: the foreshore is tidal, slippery at low water, and no place to let a fast dog work.
Mostly with calm and patience. We move slowly, keep voices down and let the animal set the pace, using treats and play to win it round. Anxious animals do better with one person, one room or one quiet corner of a park, and no crowd watching.
A private gallery arrives with the edited set, showing your pet's character as you know it. Pick your favourites and we can turn them into prints, framed pictures or canvases. The gallery usually follows within a few days.

It sits close to Kensington and Chelsea and Wandsworth, which we cover too. Most pet sessions happen outdoors near your home, and wherever we meet, travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
Further south, Bishops Park has a rose garden, a moat garden and a river walk on the Thames Path, seven minutes on foot from Putney Bridge station. Ravenscourt Park, 32 acres and two minutes from Ravenscourt Park station, has a dog exercise area, and so does Furnivall Gardens beside the river on Lower Mall.
