Studio in Northwood HA6 · free consultation
Serving Uxbridge
We photograph portraits throughout Uxbridge and the parts of Hillingdon nearest it, taking in Cowley, West Drayton and Denham, with Fassnidge Park as the usual outdoor ground and the room in Northwood held back for days the sky will not cooperate.
Sittings suit individuals, couples, and parents wanting one proper picture of a grown child before they move out. The useful piece of craft is that this park hands over a bandstand, mown grass and dense planting inside one visit, three quite separate lighting conditions, so the order of them gets settled before anybody starts walking rather than drifting about hoping something appears.

I required some portrait shots to be taken. Mr Bhatia, did an amazing job, Very friendly and extremely professional and knowledgeable.I would highly recommend.
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!
I went the studio for the photoshoot and Mr Batia is proffessional, courteous ,efficient and cheerful. I love my photos and will come again. Highly recommend.
What we offer
Outdoor sittings at Fassnidge Park, or under controlled light in Northwood when the Uxbridge sky rules it out.
Individual, couple and adult-child portraits, planned around the season rather than squeezed into whatever light turns up.
Hand-finished images in a private gallery, ready to frame and sized separately for phones and social profiles.
Portrait sittings from an award-winning Northwood studio, established 2001
Location and look are agreed at the booking, so the sitting opens with a plan already in place rather than a debate. On the day we move through a handful of positions and show frames on the camera as they happen, so you see it taking shape and can say what you think while it can still be changed.
Editing is done by hand on the frames you choose, and the face is left alone apart from something temporary. What differs here is that the shortlist is settled with you standing next to us, not by email a fortnight later.

Recent work
Away from the studio, the first decision is the backdrop: historic buildings in the town, water along the canal, or planting in a formal park, each lit differently. The notes below come from council and published pages, with a link under each.

Good to know
We do, with a light touch. Temporary things such as a stray hair or a blemish are softened, while your skin, lines and character stay as they are. The aim is a flattering portrait that still looks like you, never an over-edited one.
Think about colour against a green background, because that is what Uxbridge gives you at Fassnidge Park through most of the year. Olive and mid-green disappear into it; charcoal, navy and rust hold their edge. Bring shoes that cope with grass, since the better ground sits away from the surfaced paths. Tell us in advance whether you want the water, the open green or the planting behind you.
Long enough to work through the backgrounds we have agreed and no longer. At Fassnidge Park the bandstand, the grass and the planting stand close enough together that one visit covers all three without anybody being marched about. When we start matters more than how long we stay: a booking placed for the closing part of a summer afternoon produces better light than a midday one.
Absolutely. Yes, portfolios for actors and models are something we are glad to take on. Your book needs range, so we mix clean commercial frames with more expressive, characterful ones. We guide you through the poses and expressions casting directors look for as we go.
Yes, and the lake bank in Uxbridge is the ground we would choose for it, because two people can stand at slightly different depths there and still both be lit properly, which is harder to arrange on flat open grass. Wear tones that agree with each other without matching exactly. If either of you would rather stay indoors, Northwood covers it.
Serving Uxbridge
With our studio in Northwood, portrait sitters from UB8 and UB10 are within our core area. It sits close to Ickenham and Hillingdon, which we cover too. You can sit for us in Uxbridge or at the studio, and there is no travel charge for the 5 or so miles to the town.
The Crown and Treaty, a listed building in Uxbridge, is where Charles I and his Parliamentary opponents tried to negotiate an end to the English Civil War in early 1645. The covered market house on the High Street, dating from 1788, and the bandstand in the Edwardian Fassnidge Park would both make characterful backdrops for a town portrait. For an outdoor portrait near the town centre, Fassnidge Park and its bandstand are one choice, and the lake at Swakeleys Park in Ickenham offers a greener alternative with water.
