  • Included in the session: Guidance on pose and expression throughout, more than one set-up, a private online gallery after the shoot, and natural retouching on each chosen portrait, delivered for screen and for print.
  • Studio or on location: Either the studio on The Broadway in Northwood or a location within about 20 miles, whichever suits the pictures.
  • Getting to the studio: Uxbridge is about 5 miles from the studio at 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6 1NU, measured in a straight line; the road distance is longer.
  • To book: Use the form at the end of this page, or call or WhatsApp 07956 505383; sessions are booked in advance so the studio is ready when you arrive.

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.

Naeha M., Google review, 2020

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!

Portrait sittings from an award-winning Northwood studio, established 2001

Calm, relaxed portrait photography

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.

Uxbridge landmarks, water and parks for a portrait

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.

  • Grand Union Canal at Uxbridge. The Grand Union Canal, opened past Uxbridge in 1794 as the Grand Junction Canal, runs immediately west of the town and forms part of the borough boundary on its way between London and Birmingham. 1
  • Uxbridge Market House, completed in 1788 and listed Grade II*, has an 11-bay frontage on the High Street carried on around 50 Doric columns and a hexagonal clock tower with a cupola. 2
  • Uxbridge Common on North Common Road (UB8 1PD) is a 5-acre site laid out like a traditional village common, with a pond, a ditch network and a tree border. 3
  • Stockley Country Park near Uxbridge has 11 lakes, around 200,000 trees and shrubs, and a network of footpaths and bridlepaths running through the park, golf course and canalside. 4

Good to know

Portrait Photographer in Uxbridge, FAQs

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.

A portrait photographer near 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.
