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.
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!
What we offer
Portrait photography in Iver
Outdoor sittings
Formal gardens and rhododendrons at Langley Park for a late spring sitting.
Studio or outdoors
A studio about 7 miles from Iver when the weather refuses to cooperate.
Local and experienced
Relaxed direction, professional lighting
Kaushik directs every pose, from where to place your weight to how to angle your chin, so you can concentrate on being yourself. The session leaves room for a couple of outfits and a mix of close and full-length frames, checked together as you go.
Afterwards you view an online gallery and pick your favourites at your own pace. Retouching is natural, removing passing blemishes but keeping your face as it is, and the files come ready for screen and print, with frames, canvases and albums available.

Good to know
Portrait Photographer in Iver, FAQs
Wear clothes that fit well and make you feel confident. Plain colours and soft textures work better than bold prints or logos. For a woodland portrait near Iver, warm tones such as rust, mustard or deep red stand out against green; for the studio, almost anything plain works. Bring a second outfit if you would like variety.
Yes. Couple portraits can be photographed in the studio or outdoors, and the country parks around Iver, with their lakes and woodland paths, give a relaxed setting for walking and close frames alike. Kaushik guides you both on where to stand and how to interact, so the pictures look natural rather than stiff.
Yes. Every chosen portrait is retouched naturally: passing blemishes, stray hairs and small distractions are removed, while your features, skin texture and character are left as they are. Retouching is meant to leave an Iver sitter recognisably themselves, simply fresh and well rested. Your chosen portraits arrive as files sized for screens and for printing.
Yes. Children's portraits run at the child's pace, with games, breaks and gentle guidance in place of rigid posing. An outdoor session in a country park near Iver lets them move about freely, while the studio is often better for babies and very young children who need warmth and quiet.
