Kaushik directs each pose as the sitting goes, so you never have to guess where to put your hands or which way to look. The session moves from simple head and shoulders frames to looser, wider pictures, with a quick look at the back of the camera along the way to build confidence.
Once the sitting is over, your portraits wait in an online gallery so you can pick favourites at home, with no pressure to decide. Edits stay natural so the face in the picture is recognisably yours, and each chosen portrait is supplied sized for screens and for printing, with framing, canvas and album options available.

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!
Kaushik was a great help and took some great photos for my partner and I. I would highly recommend for all your photography needs.
An amazing experience from start to finish. The photographer was professional, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. The photos perfectly captured genuine moments between us and turned out even better than we expected. Highly recommend for couples looking for high-quality photography.

Portraits for couples and individuals in Roxeth
Most people feel stiff for the first few frames under studio lights, so the opening minutes are kept easy and unhurried while you settle. Partway through, Kaushik shows you some frames on screen so you can see how the portraits are turning out and loosen up.
We are glad to advise on wardrobe, colours and preparation before your session so you arrive ready and relaxed. Bring two or three outfits if you like, and Kaushik will help pick whichever reads best under the studio lights.

Good to know
Portrait Photographer in Roxeth, FAQs
Either works. The Northwood studio is about 4 miles from Roxeth and close to Northwood Hills station, with parking nearby, and it gives you controlled light whatever the weather. If you would rather stay local, Alexandra Park and Roxeth Recreation Ground both offer green, open settings a short walk from home. Sessions on location run within about 20 miles of the studio.
Yes. Couple portraits work well in the studio, where the light can be shaped for two faces at once, and outdoors among the gardens at Alexandra Park, where a walk side by side gives natural, unforced pictures. Posing is guided throughout, so neither of you is left wondering how close to stand or where to put an arm.
Absolutely. A solo portrait session is built entirely around you, whether you want a picture for yourself, a gift for family or something for a profile. It can be held at the Northwood studio or outdoors near Roxeth, and you choose the finished images from an online gallery without any pressure.
Most people do, and the session is designed with that in mind. Kaushik guides every pose in plain language, starts with easy frames to warm you up and shows you a few results early so you can see it working. By the time the important pictures are taken, the stiffness has usually gone.
Long enough that nobody feels rushed. There is time to settle, try a second outfit and move between set ups, and the exact length is confirmed when you book so you can plan the rest of the day. An outdoor session near Roxeth includes a little extra time for walking between spots in the park.

Guides
Portrait guides for Roxeth
Short guides from our journal to read before booking a portrait sitting from Roxeth.
A portrait sitter from Roxeth has two quite different settings within walking distance, and choosing between them is mostly a question of mood. Alexandra Park is the gentler one: its gardens give planted borders and foliage that soften a background once the lens is opened up, and the three ways in, from Alexandra Avenue, Northolt Road and Park Lane, make it easy to meet without anyone circling looking for a gate. Roxeth Recreation Ground is broader and more open, with sports pitches and tennis courts, so it suits a looser, full length picture with sky and space around the figure. Light on open grass is harsh around midday, so an outdoor sitting works better in the first or last couple of hours of a clear day, or under thin cloud, which flatters skin far more than sunshine. If the forecast turns, the Northwood studio is about 4 miles away and two minutes on foot from Northwood Hills station on the Metropolitan line, with controlled lighting that does not depend on the sky. Bring two tops in plain, mid tones; a busy pattern fights any background, indoor or out.
At the studio
The studio, about 4 miles from Roxeth
Roxeth is about 4 miles from the studio, which sits at The Broadway, 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6 1NU. A portrait sitting needs a date in the diary, an ID photo needs only a visit, and the studio itself takes care of scanning, restoration, printing and framing. The doors are open 10:30 to 18:00 from Monday to Saturday and 13:00 to 18:00 on Sundays.
Kaushik Bathia FBIPP FMPA stands behind the camera for each Roxeth portrait, with five European Kodak Gold Awards earned since he opened in Northwood in 2001.
