Graduation, actor and personal portraits for Haringey
- What the session includes: Guidance on pose and expression throughout, more than one set-up, a private online gallery after the shoot, and natural retouching on each chosen portrait, delivered for screen and for print.
- Where we photograph in Haringey: Your home or garden, or outdoors at Alexandra Park, Finsbury Park or Queen's Wood. We travel from Northwood, about 13 miles away. A sitting at the Northwood studio is also possible if you would rather.
- Booking: Ring or WhatsApp 07956 505383, or leave your details in the form below.
A sitting takes about ninety minutes. We walk, we talk, and the camera comes up in short spells rather than running non-stop, because a face that is watched continuously sets into one held expression and stays there.
You see frames on the back of the camera as we go, so nothing at the end is a surprise. The edited set lands in a gallery you can look through at home, you mark the ones you want taken further, and every file comes twice over: small for a phone, large for a frame.
Every kind of sitting, from individual and couple portraits to graduation and milestone shoots, is on our portrait photography near Haringey page.

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!
My two sisters and I ‘ the golden girls’ had a great, hilarious photo session. Kaushik is very professional and took some amazing photos especially when we were laughing so much trying to get up from the floor. Can’t wait to see ‘air brushed’ version. Well at 75 you need a little help. Definitely recommend Kashuik. He enjoyed our craziness!
Kaushik was a great help and took some great photos for my partner and I. I would highly recommend for all your photography needs.
Portraits backed by 25+ years of sittings
Relaxed direction, professional lighting
The best frame often comes about two thirds of the way through a sitting, once shoulders drop and self-consciousness fades. Actor portraits need their own kind of direction. Rather than asking for a smile, we give you a thought to hold, since casting directors read the eyes first.
Wear slightly more makeup than for work, since the camera flattens it, but avoid anything new on the morning. A personal-branding session can give you a varied set of images for a website, profiles and social channels.

Alexandra Palace, woods and parks: portrait settings in Haringey
A Haringey portrait outdoors would be planned around where the light falls at that hour, what sits behind you and whether the spot is easy to reach. The landmark and parks below, from Alexandra Palace to Finsbury Park, are described from the council and venue pages linked with each. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
- Alexandra Palace, the Grade II-listed 'People's Palace' between Wood Green and Muswell Hill, opened in 1873 and in 1936 became the home of the BBC's first regular public high-definition television service. 1
- Alexandra Park covers 196 acres around Alexandra Palace, with more than 7,500 trees and panoramic views across the London skyline, and has received the Green Flag Award for 19 consecutive years. 2
- Queen's Wood is an ancient oak and hornbeam woodland dating from at least 1600 that became a local nature reserve in 1990 and is one of four ancient woodlands in Haringey. 3
- Bruce Castle Park oak. Bruce Castle Park in Tottenham covers 8 hectares around the Grade I listed 16th-century Bruce Castle, and its ancient oak, believed to be about 500 years old, was runner-up in the Woodland Trust's Tree of the Year for England in 2018. 4

Portrait Photographer in Haringey, FAQs
Yes. A graduation deserves a proper portrait, and we would gladly photograph yours in gown and cap, at home in Haringey. Come alone or bring proud family along, and keep the day in prints, frames or an album.
After the sitting, a gallery of edited images arrives for you to choose from. From there, order prints, frames, canvases or a hand-finished album, or keep just the digital files. Retouching is light, so you still look like yourself on a good day.
Please do.
Yes. You come away with a varied, confident set of images for your website, profiles and professional presence, all flatteringly lit.
Yes, and we travel to Haringey rather than asking you to come to us. The plan would be to meet at a park entrance you can park near, allow around ninety minutes, and bring a second top in case the first one disappears against the background. Say at the time of booking whether anyone in the group struggles with slopes, because it changes which entrance we pick.

A portrait photographer near Haringey
Alexandra Palace, known as the 'People's Palace', is a Grade II-listed building that opened in 1873. It sits close to Enfield and Camden, which we cover too. From our Northwood base we travel to Haringey, about 13 miles away, for portrait photography on location.
Queen's Wood, one of four ancient woodlands in Haringey, is oak and hornbeam woodland dating from at least 1600 and could give a quieter, green backdrop for an outdoor portrait. The Piccadilly line stops at Wood Green, and Great Northern trains call at Alexandra Palace station by the park's Wood Green entrance. Sessions on location in the borough can use Alexandra Park, with its panoramic views across the London skyline.

The panoramic view is the first thing anyone mentions about Alexandra Park, but for a portrait the useful consequence is the elevation that produces it. Ground high enough to look out over a city has nothing tall standing behind it, which puts open sky within reach as a backdrop: drop the camera a foot below the subject and every distraction falls out of the frame. Sky is also several stops brighter than a face, so it has to be a choice rather than an accident. Either the sun sits behind the sitter and we light the front, or the frame turns and the grassland takes over the background. Height also means wind. Open grass on a summit has nothing to break it, and hair arranged carefully at home will not last ten minutes up there. Anyone who wants a still, tidy portrait is better served on the lower ground by the boating lake, where the bank gives some shelter and the water lifts a little light back under the chin. Season shifts the balance more than the forecast does. In winter the sun stays low all day and rakes sideways across open grass, which flatters the high ground; between May and August the same ground at midday puts the sun overhead and sinks the eyes into shadow, so early evening becomes the only sensible hour up there. Clothing follows from the background: if sky is behind you, pale fabric loses its edges against it, while a deeper colour holds the shoulders apart from the brightness and keeps the picture from dissolving at the top.
