Pet and animal photography in Hanwell
- What the session includes: 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.
- Studio or on location: A calm studio portrait in Northwood, or an outdoor session on a favourite walk within about 20 miles.
- How far: Measured in a straight line, the studio on The Broadway in Northwood is about 7 miles from Hanwell, and the drive is a little further.
- To book: Call 07956 505383, send a WhatsApp message to the same number, or use the enquiry form on this page.
Each session starts by letting your pet settle: a walk outdoors, or a few minutes to explore the studio. Treats, toys and odd noises capture alert ears and bright eyes, and breaks come whenever the animal needs one.
When the edit is done, you pick favourite pet images from an online gallery in your own time. Fur is retouched lightly so your pet looks like itself, and the files are ready for print and screen, with canvases, frames and albums available to order.

Very good experience. Did a family shoot at Kaushik Bathia's studio yesterday. He was amazing at getting all of us to give natural smiles.
Not the first time we have used his services. Excellent with kids and achieves a perfect smile from them. Fantastic experience. Very pleased.
I attended Northwood Hills Studio-Kaushik Bathia photography with my family and I had the most amazing time. My family was made to feel extremely relaxed and welcomed, and the result was some fabulous images He was organised and professional and kept everything stress free. A very enjoyable day out with fantastic photos as a result.

Photographing pets across Greater London
Patience comes first, so a jumpy dog or a timid cat from Hanwell has time to settle before we start. Poses are never forced; a favourite toy or treat coaxes your animal into place instead of anyone holding it still.
Hanwell owners can join their pets in the photographs, or stay just out of shot to keep their animal calm. Studio backdrops range from clean and simple to rich colour, chosen to suit your animal's coat and personality.

Both. Outdoor sessions near Hanwell can use the Brent River Park meadows, the canal towpath or the open ground below the viaduct. The studio in Northwood Hills, about 7 miles away, suits cats, rabbits, older animals and nervous pets who are calmer indoors. Sessions always move at the animal's pace.
Yes. When your favourite pet pictures are chosen from the online gallery, prints, frames, canvases and albums can be ordered. A large canvas of your pet makes a lovely focal point at home, and smaller framed prints make thoughtful gifts. Digital files are supplied too.
Not at all, as lively dogs produce some of the most joyful pictures. A long walk before the session helps, and the open meadows around Hanwell give space for running shots with a long lens. Bring high-value treats and a favourite toy to bring attention back to the camera.

Hanwell, in the London Borough of Ealing, lies between the River Brent and the Grand Union Canal, so towpaths and riverside parkland are close by for pet walks.

Hanwell gives a pet owner a choice of riverside, canalside and open meadow for a session. The Brent River Park follows the River Brent down from Perivale to Hanwell, with grass and trees along the way, and the meadows below the Wharncliffe Viaduct make a striking pet backdrop: a dog running across open grass with Brunel's great arches behind it. The towpath beside the Hanwell flight of locks is another option, quieter and more linear, good for a dog walking towards the camera along the water. A dog that is used to the river paths will relax quickly on familiar ground, so the first part of the session is simply a walk, letting it sniff, explore and settle. Keep it on a lead near the locks, where the edges drop straight into the water. Black and dark brown coats lose detail in dense shade under the arches, so they are better photographed in open light, while white coats are easier on an overcast day. Pack treats, water, a towel and the toy your pet likes best. Cats, rabbits and nervous animals are usually happier in the studio at Northwood Hills, about 7 miles from Hanwell, where sessions move entirely at the animal's own pace and owners can join in or stay behind the camera.
