In short
For anyone looking for a photographer in Southwark, Kaushik Bathia offers award winning coverage of weddings, portraits, families and business, with a studio close by and more than twenty five years of experience. Guiding without stiff posing is the heart of how we work; a small cue here and there is usually all it takes, and the honest expressions do the rest. We photograph everything in Southwark, from weddings of every tradition and family portraits to newborn sessions, professional headshots, commercial work and pet photography. With more than a thousand weddings behind us, we carry backup cameras, lenses and memory to every booking, because experience teaches you to plan for the day not going to plan. You can book a studio session or an on location shoot, add hand finished albums and prints, and we travel throughout Greater London for anything further afield.
What we photograph in Southwark
Southwark is a historic riverside borough in central London. Sessions run at our studio in Northwood or wherever suits you, whether that is a garden, a business premises or a wedding venue somewhere in Lambeth, Lewisham. Families come to us for newborn sessions, then again for first birthdays, then for the group portrait at a milestone gathering, and we are glad to grow with you.
We photograph the arrival of a first child, the party for a first birthday and the group shot at a christening, keeping the day's small moments as well as the big ones. You might book us for a wedding, a newborn shoot, a family reunion or a milestone birthday, and we bring the same care to each of them. We photograph christenings and naming days with a light touch, staying close enough to catch the ceremony without ever getting in the way of it.
We cover conferences and corporate functions, make headshots and branding images, and photograph products for online listings, keeping the look consistent across a brand's whole set. Pets, products, people and events, our commercial side is broad, and we prepare for each shoot so the session runs to time and the images earn their place. Actors need a portfolio, professionals need a LinkedIn headshot, and businesses need branding and product images, and we make all three at the studio or on location.

Services in Southwark
Across Southwark
There is plenty we love about photographing Southwark. Southwark is a historic riverside borough in central London, and from Northwood we also cover Tower Hamlets and Uxbridge. Venues we know well in and near Southwark include Dulwich Picture Gallery, Asylum Chapel and Kingswood Arts.
A historic riverside borough in central London known for its cultural quarter along the South Bank and the vibrant Borough Market food scene. Served by London Bridge station and Southwark Underground station on the Jubilee line. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Southwark Park, a Victorian park in Rotherhithe with lake and rose garden, with Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe theatre on the Bankside riverfront close by for a striking backdrop.
You lead and we follow, listening to what you want from the session and adapting as we go so it always feels natural rather than staged. We like to talk things through before the camera comes out, so you arrive knowing what to expect and can settle in without any rush.

Why Southwark chooses us
Our five European Gold awards reflect a standard we hold to on every job, not just the showcase ones, and that consistency is really what you are booking. We bring redundant cameras and cards to every job because a thousand weddings taught us that the day cannot be repeated, and we would rather carry the weight than risk the moment.
Our on location service covers Southwark and reaches throughout Greater London from our Northwood base. We are a short drive from Southwark and travel across Lambeth, Lewisham for on location work of all kinds.
Prints, canvases and framed pieces are available in a range of sizes, so the photographs you love do not stay hidden on a hard drive. Your gallery makes sharing easy with family and friends, while high resolution files mean you can print, frame or display the images however you like.

Good to know
Yes, newborn and baby photography is a real speciality of ours. We keep the studio warm, calm, and safe, working gently around your baby's feeds and naps so there is never any rush. The photographs focus on tiny details and quiet closeness, and we are just as happy to include parents and siblings in the session.
Both. Our studio in Northwood, HA6, gives us controlled lighting for headshots, newborns, portraits, and product work, which keeps results consistent whatever the weather. When a natural setting suits you better, we photograph on location at your home, venue, or a favourite outdoor spot. Many clients enjoy a mix of the two across a single booking.
Yes, photo restoration is one of our valued studio services. We work carefully on faded, torn, creased, or water-damaged prints, repairing them digitally so the picture is brought back to life while staying true to the original. Restored images can then be reprinted, enlarged, or framed. Bring your old photograph in and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
Yes, dogs are welcome in the studio, and we are only a short drive from Southwark. The space is enclosed and calm, which helps nervous animals settle before we begin. If your dog prefers the outdoors, we can shoot in a nearby park instead. Either way, we work at a speed that suits them.
Absolutely. Weddings are at the heart of what we do, with well over a thousand celebrated across our years in practice. We cover the whole day in a relaxed, documentary style, from morning preparations to the evening. If you are marrying in Southwark or nearby Greater London, see our dedicated wedding pages for coverage, timings, and album details.
We suggest booking a few weeks ahead so we can plan the colours and theme with you. The shoot itself works best close to the birthday, when your child is sitting confidently but still full of curiosity. If you would like a maternity or newborn set too, we can plan the whole first year together.
Just tell us what you are planning in Southwark and we will tailor a quote to it. Call 07956 505383 or message us through the website with the type of shoot, your location, your date, and anything you know you want, such as an album or prints. We will reply with a clear, itemised price and answer any questions before you decide.
