I had an amazing experience with Kaushik Bathia. They were professional, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable during the shoot. The photos came out beautifully — natural, vibrant, and exactly what I hoped for. Highly recommend
I did a fabulous photoshoot with Kaushik and thoroughly enjoyed it! I was very nervous, but he made me feel at ease! I will hopefully return for another one at a later date!
An amazing experience from start to finish. The photographer was professional, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. The photos perfectly captured genuine moments between us and turned out even better than we expected. Highly recommend for couples looking for high-quality photography.

Why choose us
Flattering, natural results in Alperton
Each portrait session starts with a short talk about the purpose of the pictures and the style you like. From there Kaushik moves through a few set-ups, refining light, angle and expression, with time to change outfits and check images on the camera.
Later an online gallery lets you look through the portraits and choose favourites with no pressure. Chosen portraits receive a natural retouch, so you still look like yourself, and come as web and print files, with prints, frames and albums to order.

Around Alperton: places a portrait session could use
For a portrait outdoors rather than in the Northwood studio, these places in and around Alperton are worth considering. Each note links to its source.
- Grand Union Canal, Paddington Arm. Alperton adjoins the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal, whose towpath has appeared in various scenes of the BBC soap EastEnders. 1
- Alperton Sports Ground has five public tennis courts, a football pitch and a mini-soccer pitch, about 15 minutes' walk from Hanger Lane station. 2
- Alperton's Festival of Britain escalator. In 1955 Alperton station was given an up escalator to the eastbound platform that had first been used at the Festival of Britain; it made Alperton one of only two stations with an escalator up to the platforms until it fell out of use in 1988. 3
