Dog and cat photography in Kentish Town
- What the session includes: A patient, treat-friendly session where your pet sets the pace, with or without you in the frame, and the chosen portraits finished as prints, framed pieces or canvases if you want them on the wall.
- Where we photograph in Kentish Town: Your home or garden, or a walk at Hampstead Heath or Parliament Hill. We travel from Northwood, about 12 miles away. A sitting at the Northwood studio is also possible if you would rather.
- To book: Call 07956 505383, send a WhatsApp message to the same number, or use the enquiry form on this page.
Outdoors, we begin with time for your pet to settle and explore, then take close, calm portraits before moving on to running and playing. Kaushik works at the animal's eye level and watches the light so fur keeps its detail and eyes stay bright.
Your pet's gallery goes online for you to choose favourites, with no pressure to buy. Leads and clutter are edited away, and your animal still looks completely like itself. Files come ready to print or share, and framed prints and canvases can be ordered for the home.

Good to know
Pet Photographer in Kentish Town, FAQs
Yes. Puppies and kittens are a joy to photograph, though their attention spans are short. Sessions are kept brief with plenty of breaks for play and naps.
Yes. We let the cat explore at its own pace, keep movements slow, and work with whatever treats or toys help it relax. Sometimes the most natural pictures come once a cat has decided the room is safe.
Not at all. A lively dog can produce wonderful action shots, and the open slopes of Parliament Hill give plenty of space. Let your dog run first to take the edge off, then we can capture calmer portraits. Bring a long line if recall is unreliable, and leads can be retouched out.
Yes, and those are often the pictures people treasure most.

For dog owners in Kentish Town, the open slopes of Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath make a spectacular setting for a pet portrait, with the London skyline laid out behind your dog. A camera close to the ground, looking slightly up at your dog against the sky and distant towers, gives a portrait with real drama. As with any professional photography on the Heath, a session there needs a City of London licence; the online version covers two hours on weekdays for small groups with handheld equipment, which actually suits pet photography perfectly. There is no need for heavy kit when the light is coming off a big open sky. Plan the session for a calmer weekday time, bring high-value treats and a favourite toy, and keep your dog on a lead or long line unless recall is very reliable. Leads can be removed in retouching. Dark-coated dogs show the most detail in soft, even light, so a bright overcast day often beats harsh sunshine. Cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and anxious rescues are a different case. Owners can join the frame in either setting, and many of the most heartfelt pictures are of a pet curled up with the person who loves it.
