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
Kaushik has been absolutely fantastic!! I called him to book for a photoshoot session for my parents anniversary, last minute with just one day in advance. he was super responsive and was able to accommodate. He was also understanding when they were running late. Even more impressive is that he put my parents at ease and was able to get great shots, its their first photoshoot and it turned out great!
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!

Guided posing means you are shown how to stand, where to turn and when to relax. The session starts gently with simple frames, so by the time the strongest pictures are being made, you have stopped thinking about the camera.
Your gallery arrives online, and you choose favourites with no pressure to buy more. Retouching keeps you looking like yourself, and the finished portraits come as web and print files, with framed prints, canvases and albums available if you would like them on a wall or a shelf.
