A sitting is built around two locations instead of one, which Amersham makes straightforward and which doubles the choice waiting at the end. The opening minutes go on getting used to a camera, and those frames exist to be deleted; what you are shown begins after that.
You see the full set of frames and choose from them; we retouch only what you pick.

My daughter and her fiancé went to Kaushik for their photos, and we had a wonderful experience. He is incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful. He really took his time with them and captured beautiful, professional-quality photos. We highly recommend Kaushik Photography!
I required some portrait shots to be taken. Mr Bhatia, did an amazing job, Very friendly and extremely professional and knowledgeable.I would highly recommend.
We were a little nervous as it was our first photo shoot but Kaushik was very friendly and quickly had our nerves calmed with his charming personality. A great all round experience and we have some fab professional photos that we are very happy with. Highly recommended, 5 Stars :)
Why choose us
Portraits taken at your own pace in Amersham
Children and older sitters both get as much time as they need, and the session follows their pace. We keep every portrait session relaxed and unhurried, so there is never any pressure to rush or to pose stiffly.
Nothing goes to print until you have made your choice. Frames, fine art prints, canvases and hand-finished albums are produced only after your favourites are agreed. Outdoors, the last hour before sunset is best: low enough to model a face, soft enough that nobody squints.

Portrait backdrops in Old Amersham and beyond
In Amersham a location portrait would be planned around the light in the old town, the backdrop behind you and which places are open to the public. The places listed below are summarised from published sources on Amersham's history and open spaces. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
- Chesham Bois Wood is a 16-hectare Woodland Trust wood made up of Elvidge Hodds, Little Hodds and Hilbury, covered by a woodland preservation order and home to a 23m whitebeam recorded as the tallest in the country. 1
- The Memorial Gardens in Old Amersham commemorate soldiers lost in both world wars and host the Town Council's summer band concerts. 2
- Hodgemoor Woods near Chalfont St Giles is over 100 hectares of ancient broadleaved woodland, a Site of Special Scientific Interest run by Forestry England, with 5.3km of waymarked horse trails and public bridleways shared by walkers, cyclists and riders. 3
- Chenies Manor House and Gardens. Chenies Manor, in the estate village of Chenies overlooking the Chess Valley and surrounded by more than 400 acres, is licensed for ceremonies in its Garden Room (120), Long Room (50) and Dining Room (40). 4

Portrait Photographer in Amersham, FAQs
Plan for an hour to ninety minutes for an outdoor sitting in Amersham, most of it spent walking from one background to the next rather than posed at any of them. The photography itself takes less time than people expect; the length comes from letting someone stop performing, and that tends to happen in the second set of frames, not the first.
A gallery of edited portraits follows your sitting in Amersham, and you pick the ones you like. You can then order prints, frames, canvases or an album, or keep just the digital files. Retouching is kept gentle, so you still look like you.
Because there are two usable backgrounds within one sitting here and we plan for both. Beginning among the buildings and finishing on the common means one booking yields two sets that do not resemble each other.
Plain, mid-tone and long in the sleeve holds up against both backgrounds Amersham offers, since parkland reads green and busy while old brick and timber read warm and busy, and pattern loses against either. A single alternative top in a contrasting shade beats bringing a suitcase. What goes on your feet counts for a great deal when a sitting takes in wet grass on the common.
Serving Amersham
A portrait photographer near Amersham
Amersham is a Buckinghamshire town with a historic centre and a newer quarter on the hill. It sits close to Denham and Chesham, which we cover too. From our Northwood base we travel to Amersham, about 10 miles away, for portrait photography on location.
A portrait here can draw on Old Amersham or on the newer streets of Amersham-on-the-Hill. The Memorial Gardens in Old Amersham, which commemorate those lost in both world wars, offer a quieter green setting for a sitting. When a session suits a greener setting, Chesham Bois Common, with its long grassy rides and commemorative oaks, is another option.

The two halves of Amersham do not run out of light at the same moment. Old Amersham sits down in the valley and Amersham-on-the-Hill stands above it, and the ground behind the old town takes the sun off it while the streets by the station are still bright. That is a scheduling fact rather than a scenic one. A sitting meant to take in both ends is booked to begin low and finish high, never the reverse, because getting the order wrong on a February afternoon leaves the second half lit by whatever remains. Where trees stand singly rather than in belts, open ground behaves unlike a woodland edge. Each one drops a defined pool of shade with a hard rim to it, and placing someone a stride inside that rim gives even light on the face while the sunlit park stays bright behind, which settles most of what strong summer sun otherwise ruins. Grass, branches and railings all carry detail, so a deep patch of shade well behind the sitter is the simplest way to get a plain band of tone behind a shoulder. On the exposed higher ground hair does things it never does down in the valley, so bring a clip or a band if the morning was spent on it, and expect a certain amount of it to be lost anyway.

Each portrait sitting is photographed by Kaushik Bathia himself, FBIPP and FMPA, whose work has won five European Kodak Gold Awards and who has worked from Northwood since 2001.
