April’s Photo Competition – The Spring Has Sprung

Posted on April 2, 2019 by Grays of Westminster

Every month we will announce a theme for you to interpret photographically as you wish. You can submit your images, taken on Nikon equipment by email to: info@graysofwestminster.co.uk

This month our theme comes from Thomas Alan Waits, an American singer, songwriter, musician, composer, and actor. Waits’ music is characterized by his distinctive deep, gravelly singing voice and lyrics focusing on the underside of U.S. society.

During the 1970s, he worked primarily in jazz, but since the 1980s his music has reflected greater influence from blues, vaudeville, and experimental genres.

First place winner will receive a limited edition f/1.4 lens box as seen below
(lenses not included!)

Competition T&Cs: Photos must not exceed 10mb in size or they will not reach our email. A maximum of one entry per person with a brief description of the photo, along with a list of equipment and settings used when sending your photographs in is required. You must have permission from models featured in photographs to use their image and the image must be owned by you for submission. All photograph copyrights will be adhered to, but please note that by submitting your image, Grays of Westminster may post or share this through our blog, social media or in our newsletter at a future date. The image will always be credited to the photographer and is owned solely by the photographer. Competition closes 1st May 2019.

Good luck!

Amateur Photographer Magazine Awards 2019 : We won!

Posted on March 23, 2019 by Grays of Westminster

On Friday, 23rd February, 2018 at the InterContinental London Park Lane, Mayfair, in the presence of the cream of the photographic industry, Grays of Westminster added a top accolade to its ever-growing collection: Amateur Photographer Platinum Good Service Award.

The Good Service Awards were created to recognise and reward outstanding customer service in the UK photo-retail sector. They are presented annually at the Amateur Photographer Awards Ceremony, alongside the product awards, to those retailers who offer the highest quality of service, and are voted for by AP readers and retailers’ customers.

Retailers play a crucial role in maintaining and developing the hobby of photography by offering friendly advice and access to a range of products that customers otherwise wouldn’t be able to see ‘in the flesh’. Increasingly, the bricks and mortar stores of the most successful retailers work in tandem with well-designed websites.

To qualify for a Good Service Award, a retailer must have exceeded the AP’s minimum number of votes, which can be made online or by post. This year Amateur Photographer gave out nine Gold awards, plus a single Platinum award for the retailer who received the best response overall. For the second year in a row, the Platinum award was won by Grays of Westminster.

A special thank-you to everyone that voted for us in such magnitude. This is a great honour and it is all down to our staff who are, in my opinion, the best of the best. They consistently deliver excellent, engaging and responsive service to our customers, often with a dash of humour and always with discretion. Our team are what makes Grays of Westminster, Grays of Westminster!
