Guided posing runs through the whole sitting, so you are never left wondering what to do. We begin with simple, close frames, then widen out to show the setting, changing position as the light changes and pausing whenever you want to adjust your outfit or hair.
After the sitting, your online gallery lets you choose favourites with no pressure. Natural retouching keeps you recognisably yourself; portrait files suit both screen and print, and you can order prints, frames, canvases or albums.

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.
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!
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!

Good to know
Portrait Photographer in Muswell Hill, FAQs
Yes. Children are photographed at their own pace, with games and short bursts of attention rather than long poses. Alexandra Park gives them space to run and a view to point at, and the playground in Highgate Wood makes a good reward afterwards.
Choose two outfits in solid colours or gentle textures, get a good night's sleep and arrive with time to spare. For the open slopes of Alexandra Park, bring something to tie long hair back, as the hilltop can be breezy. If you wear glasses or particular jewellery every day, bring them so the portrait feels like you.
Soon after the session your images go into an online gallery, and you can take your time choosing favourites with no pressure. Timings vary, so ask for the current turnaround when you book. After you select them, the portraits are lightly retouched and delivered as web-ready and print-ready files.
Yes. Couples can be photographed outdoors around Muswell Hill, with the skyline from Alexandra Park, the long tree-lined path of the Parkland Walk or the Edwardian Broadway as settings. Guided posing keeps things relaxed, focusing on the small gestures between two people rather than stiff arrangements.
Serving Muswell Hill
A portrait photographer near Muswell Hill
Muswell Hill is one of the Greater London areas a portrait session can reach from Northwood. It sits close to Hornsey and Crouch End, which we cover too.
Muswell Hill's well-kept Edwardian parades and independent cafes along the Broadway make a handsome setting for an outdoor portrait. With no Underground station of its own, the area keeps a settled, residential feel that suits unhurried portraits at home. If you come by train, Highgate on the Northern line is around a mile south and Alexandra Palace station on Great Northern is close too. Alexandra Park, around the landmark Alexandra Palace, is one on-location option with panoramic views over London.

Muswell Hill sits more than 100 metres above sea level, and the strongest portrait backdrop in the area takes full advantage of that. Alexandra Park, 196 acres of historic parkland around Alexandra Palace, has panoramic views across the London skyline, so a portrait on its slopes can set a face against an entire city, softened by distance. With more than 7,500 trees, the park also offers shade and leafy frames when the open view is too bright. Closer to the Broadway, the Edwardian parades along Fortis Green Road and Colney Hatch Lane, with their original upper facades, and the art deco front of the former Odeon, now the Everyman, give an urban portrait real architectural character. The Parkland Walk, a former railway line turned rail trail, adds a long, tree-lined corridor that draws the eye straight to the person in the frame. Coldfall Wood, with its waymarked nature trail, suits something quieter. On the open hillside it can be breezy, so tie long hair back between frames and bring a layer. Softer light early or late in the day flatters faces on the open slopes.
