Photographer in West Ealing

In short

Pictures worth keeping, made in West Ealing

An award winning photographer with a studio a short drive from West Ealing, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing weddings, families and businesses across Greater London. For newborns and small children we slow right down, keep the room warm and calm, and let the shoot bend around feeds, naps and moods instead of the other way round. From weddings and christenings to headshots, branding, pet portraits and passport photos, we are the one photographer families and businesses in West Ealing return to at every stage. Over a thousand weddings teaches you to stay unflappable, to read a room and to keep going when the light or the schedule turns, and that steadiness comes with us to every booking. 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 West Ealing

From christenings to company profiles

West Ealing is a busy residential and shopping district in the London Borough of Ealing, just west of Ealing Broadway. We photograph clients across Ealing Broadway, Hanwell and Northfields, at our Northwood studio, in family homes and gardens, and at churches, temples and reception venues. Weddings sit at the heart of what we do, but so do engagement shoots, christenings, family portraits and the milestone birthdays that mark another year for the people you love.

We are asked to photograph maternity bumps, sleeping newborns, giggling one year olds and grandparents holding a new arrival, often for the same family across the years. Maternity and newborn work asks for patience and a calm room, and we give both, photographing the bump, the birth's first weeks and the family finding its feet. A cake smash is messy, loud and over in minutes, so we come ready to work quickly and let your one year old lead the session.

For West Ealing and companies like it we photograph headshots, events and product ranges, and we also restore old prints and produce passport and visa photos on request. We restore faded, torn and water damaged photographs, reprint and enlarge them, frame them for the wall, and take passport and visa pictures to the current standard. We photograph corporate away days, conferences and launch nights, produce headshots and branding sets, and shoot product ranges for the businesses that book us across the year.

Good to know

Photography in West Ealing, frequently asked questions

Are digital files included, or do I pay extra?+

Most of our sessions include a set of high-resolution digital files so you can keep, share, and print your images freely. Exactly what is included depends on the package, and prints, albums, and framing are typically additional. We spell all of this out in your quote before you book, so you always know precisely what you are getting.

How do you photograph young children who will not sit still?+

We follow their lead rather than fight it. Some of our best images of children come from play, movement and a little silliness rather than asking them to freeze. We keep sessions short, allow breaks, and let parents join in when it helps. The result is natural photographs that genuinely look like your child.

How long until I get my images?+

Turnaround varies with the type of shoot and the season. Portraits and headshots are usually ready within a couple of weeks, while weddings, with their larger galleries and careful editing, take a little longer. If you have a specific deadline, tell us when booking and we will do our best to work around it and keep you updated.

What should men wear for a business headshot?+

Stick to well fitted, plain clothing in colours that suit your profession. A shirt, or a shirt and jacket, works for most business and LinkedIn portraits, while strong patterns and logos are best avoided. Make sure your top is freshly pressed, and bring a spare if you can. We will help with any final adjustments.

Why choose a local photographer near West Ealing rather than a chain?+

A local, established studio means you deal with the same person from your first enquiry to the final print. We know the light, the venues and the best outdoor spots around West Ealing, and we are easy to reach if you have a question. You also support a long standing independent business rather than a faceless chain.

Do you photograph pets?+

We certainly do. Pets are part of the family, so we offer sessions built around your animal's personality and comfort, in the studio or outdoors where they feel at ease. We are patient and used to working at their pace to get relaxed, characterful portraits. You are welcome to join the frame with them too, which many owners love.

What should we wear for a family session?+

Choose outfits that feel comfortable and coordinate rather than match exactly. Soft, solid colours tend to photograph well, while very bright logos or busy patterns can pull attention away from your faces. Think in tones that sit nicely together, and dress for the season if we are shooting outdoors. We are happy to advise beforehand.
