Highly recommend!!! I came from Qatar and found this famous Photographer Kaushik Bathia who took my photographs! Absolutely incredible. He touched up on blemishes and really made the photo look so beautiful!
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 :)
Kaushik was a great help and took some great photos for my partner and I. I would highly recommend for all your photography needs.

Serving Crouch End
A portrait photographer near Crouch End
Crouch End, a creative, bohemian corner of Haringey in Greater London built around the Broadway and its clock tower, lends portraits an artistic backdrop. It sits close to Hornsey and Highgate, which we cover too.
Crouch End has a village feel and a creative crowd of artists, writers and musicians, with independent shops spreading out from the Broadway, which gives a portrait plenty of character. It is one of the bigger London districts without a Tube station, which is one reason an on-location portrait there makes sense. Crouch Hill on the London Overground Suffragette line is the nearest station for a portrait meet-up, and Finsbury Park lies a short walk further. Priory Park and the leafy Parkland Walk nature trail are options for relaxed outdoor portraits around Crouch End, and the 1895 Clock Tower and art deco Hornsey Town Hall are well-known local backdrops.

Crouch End portrait sitters can also book headshot, family, pet or commercial photography with us. Explore the rest: we also cover portrait photography across Greater London, including Kilburn, Hillingdon, Hornsey, Rayners Lane and Uxbridge.
Crouch End has a strong visual identity of its own, and a portrait made there can borrow it. The red-brick Clock Tower on the Broadway, put up in 1895, and the art deco frontage of Hornsey Town Hall, freshly restored and reopened in December 2025, give an urban, characterful backdrop for someone who wants their surroundings to say something about them. Five minutes away the mood changes completely. Priory Park on Middle Lane has a granite fountain from 1909 and lawns that have held the Green Flag Award since 2003, while Parkland Walk follows an old railway line past the district under a canopy of trees, with wildflowers along its banks through the warmer months. Queen's Wood, a little to the north-west, is ancient woodland with the dappled, enclosed light that suits a quiet, contemplative portrait. Choose one urban spot and one green one, and the session gives you two very different looks. Under the trees of Parkland Walk the light is soft but low, so a bright overcast day is often better than full sun. On the Broadway, early in the morning is calmer than lunchtime. Crouch End has no Tube station, but Crouch Hill on the Overground Suffragette line and Hornsey on Great Northern are close.
