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.
We were a little nervous as it was our first photo shoot but Kaushik was very friendly and quickly had our nerves calmed with his charming personality. A great all round experience and we have some fab professional photos that we are very happy with. Highly recommended, 5 Stars :)
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!

Settings for a portrait session around Yiewsley
An outdoor portrait near Yiewsley starts with the backdrop, and the canal and Stockley Country Park offer two very different ones. These places in and around Yiewsley are summarised from published sources, linked for checking.
- Little Britain Lake on Packet Boat Lane (UB8 2JR), between the River Colne and the Frays River, is named for its shape like the British Isles and is described by the council as a quiet respite from Uxbridge and Yiewsley. 1
- Stockley Country Park has 11 lakes, around 200,000 trees and shrubs, and footpaths and bridleways through the park, golf course and canal side. 2
- Oldest buildings. Yiewsley's three oldest buildings, all Grade II listed and dating from the late 16th or early 17th century, are Yiewsley Grange, the barn in Philpots Close and the De Burgh Arms pub. 3

Good to know
Portrait Photographer in Yiewsley, FAQs
Absolutely. Building actor and model portfolios is one of the things this studio does best, for Yiewsley performers as much as anyone. Each Yiewsley portfolio gets variety, with crisp commercial looks sitting alongside moodier, more characterful frames. Kaushik directs poses and expressions with casting directors' expectations in mind, guiding you calmly from one look to the next.
Yes. Children's portraits run at the child's pace, with breaks whenever they are needed and plenty of guidance in place of stiff posing. For a family in Yiewsley, the studio in Northwood Hills is a calm choice for younger children, while an older child who enjoys being outside may prefer the lakes at Stockley Country Park, once park permission is in place.
Yes, a graduation portrait is simply a portrait session planned around the gown, the hood and perhaps a scroll or certificate. Bring everything pressed and on a hanger. The studio gives a classic, formal result against a plain background, and you can add a few relaxed frames out of the gown in the same sitting.
Choose clothes you are at ease in, cut so they sit neatly at the shoulders, since that line frames every head-and-shoulders picture. Plain colours or subtle textures work better than busy prints or large logos, which pull the eye away from your face. For the canal towpath near Yiewsley, mid and darker tones stand out against the brick; bring a second outfit to change the mood.
After your Yiewsley sitting the frames go into an online gallery, and you pick the ones you love at whatever pace suits you. Kaushik then retouches those picks with a light, natural hand and sends them as files sized for both web use and printing. For the current timings, ask when you book by phone or WhatsApp, and mention any deadline you are working to.

Yiewsley grew up on canal trade and brickfields, and its stretch of the Grand Union towpath still makes a quiet, characterful setting for an outdoor portrait. Just north of the town, the Slough Arm leaves the main canal at Cowley Peachey Junction, another waterside option for a relaxed sitting. West Drayton station on the Elizabeth line.

A portrait session for someone living in Yiewsley has two strong outdoor settings within easy reach. Stockley Country Park covers 274 acres on the eastern edge of the town, and with eleven lakes and a huge amount of planting, a background of water, reeds or dense foliage is never far from the path. The Grand Union Canal offers a different mood altogether: a long towpath line, old brick and still water, plus the reflected light that comes up off the surface on a bright day and softens the shadows under the eyes. One practical point before choosing either: Hillingdon Council asks for permission before professional photographs are taken in its parks and green spaces, even when the pictures are purely personal, so that needs sorting well ahead of the date. For a portrait, the hour matters more than the place. Late afternoon gives a low side light that shapes a face, whereas a high midday sun flattens features and makes people squint, so settle the time first and the spot second. Bring a second top in a contrasting tone and wear shoes you can walk a towpath in. If the forecast turns, or you simply prefer controlled light, the studio at The Broadway in Northwood Hills is about 7 miles from Yiewsley, two minutes on foot from the Metropolitan line station, with parking close by.
