Grays of Westminster, located in central London, a short distance from the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace and Knightsbridge, was founded thirty five years ago by Gray Levett with the idea of creating a world-class camera store, which would offer a service that was second to none. Grays of Westminster is to many photographers not just a camera-shop but an institution, one that has attracte

d customers from all over the world and from all walks of life. It evolved from a modest mail order company in the mid-1980s to its present, highly-respected position in the photographic industry with over 47,000 customers world-wide, that have included the legendary film-director, Stanley Kubrick, David Suchet, best-known in his role as Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie’s famous sleuth, Lord Snowdon, world-famous National Geographic photographer Jim Brandenburg, Rod Stewart, and the late 1960s’ icon Terence Donovan.

We were delighted to host a special sold-out Nikon Open Day on Friday, 5th June, featuring acclaimed street photographer Lucy Hamidzadeh, pictured outside the shop with Gray Levett.

Based in South East London, Lucy is a highly respected street photographer whose work is rooted in storytelling. Her evocative and transportive images capture the character, atmosphere, and human stories of London's streets, as well as the destinations she visits around the world.

The event gave guests the opportunity to get hands-on with the latest Nikon equipment, test selected loan gear, and speak directly with Nikon specialist Bruno Murari. Throughout the day, attendees were able to explore new products, discuss techniques and camera settings, and receive expert advice on a wide range of photographic topics.

A highlight of the day was Lucy's workshop, Street Photography: Noticing the Unnoticed. Drawing on her years of experience, Lucy shared valuable insights into the art of street photography, including how to read a scene, anticipate decisive moments, and create compelling images from everyday life. Her engaging presentation inspired photographers of all levels to look more closely at the world around them and develop their own visual storytelling skills.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day such a success. We would also like to thank Lucy Hamidzadeh and Nikon for their support and expertise, which made this memorable event possible: https://www.lucyhamidzadeh.com/
