Kaushik did a great job in taking both formal and informal portrait photos. He is an enthusiastic professional photographer who made me feel at ease. The photographs were excellent and have been greatly admired.
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!

Portrait Photographer in Golders Green, FAQs

From Golders Green Underground on the Northern line, a portrait session could head to Golders Hill Park, with its flower garden, duck pond and humpback bridge.

Golders Green is unusually well placed for outdoor portraits because the edge of Hampstead Heath begins on its doorstep. Golders Hill Park, managed by the City of London as part of the Heath, has a flower garden beside a duck pond with a small humpback bridge, and a water garden whose reflections lift light back into a face. Golders Hill Park closes at night, so a session there would be planned for daytime, ideally later in the afternoon when the light softens. A short way further, the Hill Garden and Pergola is available for small, handheld portrait and lifestyle shoots under a two hour photography licence from the City of London, offered Monday to Friday only, and the pergola makes an elegant, structured setting. For an individual portrait or a couple session, any of these give variety within a short distance. If you feel awkward on camera, guided posing and a gentle pace make a real difference.
