The pet photographer for Tower Hamlets
- 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.
- Where we photograph in Tower Hamlets: Your home or garden, or a walk at Victoria Park, Mile End Park or Bartlett Park. We travel from Northwood, about 17 miles away. The Northwood studio is there too, if you ever prefer it.
- How to book: Use the form at the end of this page, or call or WhatsApp 07956 505383, and we will arrange a date and place in Tower Hamlets.
Sessions are kept short deliberately. Most dogs give perhaps thirty good minutes, and we stop at the point the animal stops enjoying itself rather than when a shot list runs out. Any dog whose recall is not certain wears a long line, and it disappears at the retouching stage.
Pictures get looked at on the day and you choose from a gallery afterwards. Chosen frames get retouched, a line removed where one had to stay attached, and you get a print-sized file and a phone-sized one.

I love his services, he was very very patient even though we got there late he still took his time capturing a very good family pictures. He also gave us time to satisfy our 6months old one in order to capture her great smile despite the fact that it was passed his closing hours. I would definitely recommend him as you won't be disappointed, you will love him.
We have been getting our pictures clicked with Mr. Bhatia for many years now, he is very reliable, excellent at his job and he is great with kids as well! I'd really recommend his services.
He was very professional, made us relaxed and got everyone to smile. The photos were beautiful especially the family portrait.
What we offer
Pet photography in Tower Hamlets
Dark coats done properly
Dark coats exposed for the coat, not the background, so a black dog keeps its face.
A training line where needed
Short sessions, a long line for doubtful recall, and a stop the moment interest runs out.
Local and experienced
How a pet session runs
We get down to your animal's eye level, so the pictures show the character you see at home. Dogs are photographed in short bursts of play, with calm rewarded and character caught in between.
Prints, framed pictures and canvases are all available, and a single large print of one animal is the choice owners make most.

Tower Hamlets parks for a dog walk with a camera
A dog tends to relax fastest on wide, quiet grass with a gate nearby, which is why the larger parks here come first. Each note comes from a linked council or published source; dogs are not allowed in Victoria Park's children's play areas, so read the signs at any park before a session. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
- Tower Hamlets dog control PSPO. Tower Hamlets Council's Public Spaces Protection Order on dog control was made on 30 April 2025 for three years, and its parks guidance requires dogs to be kept out of children's play areas and fenced sports and exercise areas. 1
- Bartlett Park in Poplar, a 4.95-hectare park opened in 1961 and refurbished in 2020, has a designated dog walk area, a canalside walkway and a fully inclusive playground for ages 5 to 25. 2
- Victoria Park dog rule. In Victoria Park dogs are not allowed in the children's play areas, and the park's byelaws apply elsewhere. 3
- Victoria Park, opened in 1845 as 'The People's Park', is described by Tower Hamlets Council as London's oldest public park and at 86 hectares is the borough's largest, holding Green Flag and Green Heritage awards. 4

Good to know
Pet Photographer in Tower Hamlets, FAQs
Because the plan names the ground and the hour before we set off. For a dog in Tower Hamlets that usually means Victoria Park early, on quiet ground near a gate, with a long line on anything whose recall is doubtful. Dark coats get placed against brick or trees, never the bright paving of the Docklands end. Rabbits and cats are indoor bookings.
Kaushik Bathia has been a professional photographer for 25+ years, and a pet session is run at the animal's pace. Owners in Tower Hamlets can expect a calm, quick and gentle manner, with time for even the most anxious animal to settle.
Very little. A walk before the session takes the edge off an excitable dog, and skipping the last snack makes treats more tempting. Pack a favourite toy and a lead, and let your animal behave as it normally would. The waiting, the play and the timing are our job.
Most animals with fur, feathers or hooves can be photographed. Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and horses are all welcome, with dogs photographed outdoors and smaller pets at home. For anything more unusual, ask before you book. Every animal gets the same patience.
Serving Tower Hamlets
A pet photographer near Tower Hamlets
Tower Hamlets is around 17 miles from Northwood, with Victoria Park and Mile End Park among its larger open spaces. It sits close to Hackney and Newham, which we cover too. Pet sessions can take place at home, in a Tower Hamlets park, and travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
Tower Hamlets has two large green spaces for dog walks: Victoria Park, at 86 hectares the borough's largest, and Mile End Park, a linear park of about 32 hectares east of the Regent's Canal. Mile End Park's Green Bridge, designed by Piers Gough, carries the park over the Mile End Road. When a session suits an outdoor setting, Victoria Park in the north of the borough is one option.

Victoria Park suits dog work in this borough, and the argument for it is room to get things wrong in. An old public park is large and its paths run through the middle rather than around the outside, so there is quiet ground within reach of a gate without a long march to get to it. That matters for two animals in particular: the one whose recall is unreliable, which spends the whole session attached to a long line, and the one that tires early, which is most dogs past about ten years old. Then there is the coat. This borough sets pale stone and glass near the financial district against dark Victorian brick elsewhere, and a black or liver dog placed in front of the pale version collapses into a silhouette with no eyes and no muzzle. The camera cannot hold both: meter for the coat and the background burns out, meter for the background and the dog goes solid. We take the first of those, turn the animal side-on to whatever light exists so the coat picks up a rim along its back, and let the background go bright. Pale dogs get the reverse treatment and the reverse background. Cats, rabbits and elderly dogs get photographed at home. A frightened animal in an unfamiliar room gives you flattened ears and a hard eye, and no amount of patience later in the session undoes it.

How it works
Tower Hamlets sessions, on location
We travel to Tower Hamlets from Northwood, about 17 miles away, so we bring the shoot to you. For a dog that means a park walk, and for cats and rabbits a session at home, with lighting brought in for indoor frames.
Pet sessions are photographed by Kaushik Bathia, a fellow of the BIPP and the MPA with five European Kodak Gold Awards, from Northwood, where he set up in 2001.
