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!
Kaushik did a great job in taking both formal and informal portrait photos. He is an enthusiastic professional photographer who made me feel at ease. The photographs were excellent and have been greatly admired.
Kaushik was a great help and took some great photos for my partner and I. I would highly recommend for all your photography needs.

A portrait photographer covering West Ealing
Kaushik guides the posing throughout, from where to put your weight to how to angle your chin, so the session feels like a conversation rather than an exam. Outfit changes are easy in the studio, and outdoors a short walk between spots gives each set of pictures a different background.
Once the portraits are edited, an online gallery lets you pick the frames you like in your own time, with nobody hurrying you. The frames you keep get a light, natural retouch that leaves you recognisable, arrive web-ready and print-ready, and can become prints, frames, canvases or an album.

Good to know
Portrait Photographer in West Ealing, FAQs
Yes. A portrait session works well to mark a graduation, whether you want a formal frame for the family wall or something relaxed for social media. Bring your gown and hood if you have them, plus an everyday outfit for a second look. Walpole Park gives a green, traditional backdrop near West Ealing, and the Northwood studio offers a plain background that suits a framed print.
It depends on what you want from it. A single look with one background is quick; several outfits, or a move between the studio and a park, take longer. Tell us the purpose and the number of outfits when booking and the time is set to match, so nothing feels rushed and you are not sitting about waiting either.
Yes. Portfolio work needs variety: a few clean headshots against a plain backdrop, then looser frames that show range and movement. The studio at Northwood gives the controlled light that casting work calls for, and a park such as Lammas Park can add natural backgrounds. Bring several tops in different tones and share any agency requirements beforehand.
Yes, children's portraits are taken at the child's pace, with breaks whenever they are needed. Younger children tend to relax in a familiar outdoor setting such as Dean Gardens, where the play areas offer a reward between frames, while babies are better off in the warm studio. Posing is guided gently, so a child is encouraged rather than told to hold still.
After the session you are sent a link to an online gallery, where you can take your time choosing favourites with no pressure. Your picks are then given a natural retouch and sent to you as web-ready and print-ready files. If you need them by a particular date, such as a birthday or a print deadline, mention it when booking.
