A sitting takes an hour. It opens with a few frames that nobody expects much from, because the first ones loosen the rest, and moves on once the camera has stopped being the point.
Editing is done on the frames you pick rather than on all of them, and the finished files come back ready for print and for screen without anyone having to ask for two versions. What we do differently is show you two or three pictures early, on the camera, so anything you want changed gets changed while there is still time.
Every kind of sitting, from individual and couple portraits to graduation and milestone shoots, is on our portrait photography near Hounslow page.

Really pleased with my photos. Kaushik is very professional and took lots of picture for us to choose from. Our shoot was comfortable and not too long. I would highly recommend him.
Had such an amazing experience with Kaushik Bathia Photography 📸 The whole shoot felt super fun and comfortable, and the pictures turned out better than I could have imagined! Highly recommend if you want natural vibes and stunning shots.
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!

Portrait sittings, graduations and lighting
A graduation sitting is kept short. We ask for the hood straight and the cap held, not worn, for at least one frame, since its peak shades the eyes. The lighting and backdrop do much of the work, leaving you free to relax.
Graduates can be photographed in gown and cap, with a framed print to mark the day.

Portrait Photographer in Hounslow, FAQs
The plan is the answer rather than anything we could say about ourselves. In Hounslow we would meet at Lampton Park, leave the cars at the near end and photograph within a few minutes' walk of them, which keeps the whole thing inside an hour.
Yes, and in Hounslow an outdoor sitting can be held in Lampton Park. If you have Osterley Park in mind, that is a question to put to the estate before a date is fixed: it is a National Trust mansion and parkland, and estates of that kind set their own conditions for photography that somebody is paying for, permits included. Gardens and homes work too.
Yes, absolutely. Alongside the digital files we offer prints, framed portraits, canvases and hand-finished albums. A framed portrait or an album keeps the pictures in view long after the files are downloaded.
Outdoors in Hounslow the background is whatever the park gives, mostly foliage, so we pick the direction that keeps it an even tone instead of a busy one. On location we bring light rather than trust a window.
Yes, gladly. Calm, unhurried direction helps you relax and look your best. It might be for a profile, a present or just for you.
Serving Hounslow
A portrait photographer near Hounslow
We photograph portrait sessions across London, and we travel to Hounslow (Greater London) from Northwood, about 9 miles away. It sits close to Ealing and Richmond upon Thames, which we cover too.
Osterley Park, a Georgian estate straddling Ealing and Hounslow with a house remodelled by Robert Adam between 1761 and 1765, has been run by the National Trust since 1991. Lampton Park, which opened in 1930 north-west of Hounslow Central station, has flower beds, a pond, a memorial garden, woodland and a wildflower meadow in its formal southern half. For an outdoor portrait we would suggest Lampton Park, which holds a Green Flag Award, or Osterley Park if the estate's conditions for photography suit.

A sitting in Hounslow is best built around Lampton Park, and the useful thing about it is having somewhere to walk to. In a park that gets steady use, frames are spoiled less by other people than by the camera being locked in one direction to keep them out of shot, and having room to move means the direction can be picked for the light instead. Turn the lens back towards the open half of the sky and the face fills in evenly; turn it towards the tree line and the sky behind becomes a bright edge that the eye goes to first. Season shifts this further than the forecast does. Under full summer leaf the ground beneath the canopy breaks into hard patches of light and shadow, which lands across a face in a pattern that no later correction removes, so on a clear day in July the sensible place is out on the open grass with the sun low, or not there at all around midday. From November the canopy has gone, light drops straight down onto the grass and paths, and the whole park photographs cleaner and colder; a bright overcast day in winter is close to ideal. Clothing follows the background rather than the season. Green surrounds a sitting here for much of the year, and green reflects up into skin, so mid greens are the one colour to leave at home. Warm neutrals, deep blues, burgundy and charcoal all separate from foliage. Long sleeves hold a shape that bare arms will not, and something plain beats a pattern that competes with leaf detail for attention.
