Portrait sittings in Northwood, indoors and out
- What the session includes: A conversation about the style you like before the camera comes out, unhurried direction during the sitting, then a private gallery and natural retouching on the portraits you choose; prints, frames and albums can be ordered afterwards.
- Studio or on location: Sittings run in the Northwood studio, with controlled lighting and proper backdrops, or on location within about 20 miles when a place means more.
- Getting to the studio: Northwood is less than a mile from the Northwood studio as the crow flies, and the studio is two minutes' walk from Northwood Hills station on the Metropolitan line.
- Booking: Ring or WhatsApp 07956 505383 during opening hours (Monday to Saturday 10:30 to 18:00, Sunday 13:00 to 18:00), or leave your details in the form below.
Portrait sittings are photographed indoors in the town itself, out along Northwood's tree lined roads, or under the old canopy of the nature reserve to the south, and Moor Park, Northwood Hills and Rickmansworth are booked on exactly this footing.
Sittings suit individuals wanting a current picture, couples, and families marking a birthday. One craft decision gets made properly here rather than gambled on in advance: we begin outdoors, look at frames together on a screen, and shift the sitting indoors partway through if the light has turned, which is only realistic when the room is minutes from wherever we started.

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!
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
We were a little nervous as it was our first photo shoot but Kaushik was very friendly and quickly had our nerves calmed with his charming personality. A great all round experience and we have some fab professional photos that we are very happy with. Highly recommended, 5 Stars :)
What we offer

Why choose us
How a portrait sitting works in Northwood
A sitting begins with a few minutes deciding what the picture is actually for, then roughly half an hour of photography with pauses in it. We put frames on a screen while we work, so the choice is made together rather than handed to you afterwards.
What you receive is a retouched selection, colour and monochrome, at a size that suits framing as well as a phone. The part we do differently is the standing invitation to call in later and handle papers and print sizes before ordering anything.

Portrait Photographer in Northwood, FAQs
Yes, and sparingly. Whether your session is at the studio or outdoors in Northwood, we remove only fleeting distractions like a loose hair or blemish, keeping your natural skin, lines and character intact. What you get is an honest likeness, retouched lightly rather than reworked.
The Broadway, 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6. For a Northwood portrait that means no journey to plan and no meeting point to settle on. A sitting can run indoors there, outdoors nearby, or both inside one booking if the sky changes. It also means you can call in afterwards and look at papers and print sizes in your hand before deciding what to have made.
Northwood is where the studio is, so a sitting here needs no travel. Sittings run indoors against a plain background, outdoors under the street trees, or in the ancient woodland to the south. Because nobody has to travel, a booking can be split across two of those without losing half the time to the road.
Yes. Tell us the headcount and the youngest and oldest ages when you book, because both decide the location more than the number does. Bigger groups go better indoors, where everyone stands on level ground and is lit alike. Outdoors we pick somewhere with a clear approach and room to step well back, and photograph the whole group early.
After the sitting, whether at the studio or outdoors in Northwood, we send a gallery of edited images for you to choose from. From there you can order prints, frames, canvases or a hand-finished album, or just keep the digital files. Edits are kept gentle, so the portraits still look like you on a good day.

Our portrait studio is on Joel Street, in Northwood. It sits close to Pinner and Eastcote, which we cover too. The portrait studio is here in Northwood, and an outdoor sitting within the town is not charged for travel.
Northwood was first recorded in 1435 as Northwode, meaning 'the northern wood', and grew into a town after the Metropolitan Railway was extended to Rickmansworth in 1887. If you are coming by Tube, Northwood Hills is the Metropolitan line stop nearest the studio, and Northwood station, at Station Approach off Green Lane in zone 6, is one stop further north.
