Kaushik has been absolutely fantastic!! I called him to book for a photoshoot session for my parents anniversary, last minute with just one day in advance. he was super responsive and was able to accommodate. He was also understanding when they were running late. Even more impressive is that he put my parents at ease and was able to get great shots, its their first photoshoot and it turned out great!
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
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!

Around Temple Fortune: places a portrait session could use
The settings listed below, in and around Temple Fortune and Hampstead Garden Suburb, suit anyone who would rather be photographed outside than in Northwood. Each note links to its source. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
- The Hampstead Heath Extension, one of the open spaces beside neighbouring Hampstead Garden Suburb, was Wyldes Farm land bought from Eton College in 1904 after a campaign led by Henrietta Barnett and added to Hampstead Heath. 1
- The Arcade and Gateway House. The arrival of Hampstead Garden Suburb from 1907 led to the demolition of Temple Fortune Farm and the building of the Arcade and Gateway House on Finchley Road around 1911, forming the Suburb's retail district. 2
- Big Wood and Little Wood. Big Wood (7.3 hectares) and Little Wood (1.2 hectares) are ancient woodlands and a Local Nature Reserve in Hampstead Garden Suburb, with an entrance to Big Wood on Temple Fortune Hill and an open-air arena in Little Wood. 3
- Lyttelton Playing Fields is a 9-hectare public park in Hampstead Garden Suburb, one of Barnet's 'Premier Parks', with Mutton Brook running through a small area of old woodland along its northern edge. 4

Its name goes back to the Knights Templar, the medieval order that held a sub-manor here. Among the nearest Tube stations for a Temple Fortune portrait session is Golders Green, on the Northern line a short way south. For a portrait outdoors, Big Wood, ancient woodland with an entrance on Temple Fortune Hill, is close to the Arcade and Gateway House.
