Planned events include secret live music gigs, fitness classes, panel discussions, workshops with photography experts such as Capture One, and talks from high profile industry figures including Alan Law and York Place Studios.

  • A redesigned print workshop

  • An extended gallery space
  • Dedicated areas for the company’s professional GFX medium format system and X Series digital camera range
  • An updated photographic studio with professional headshot services for talent such as actors, models and dancers

Ahead of the FUJIFILM House of Photography’s grand reopening, Fujifilm is also calling on people across the UK to enter its ‘Life As You See It’ photo competition. The first prize will be a FUJIFILM X100VI Limited Edition digital camera worth £1,934. There are also prizes up to a value of £500 for the second and third placed winners. Budding creatives, amateur snappers, photography professionals and everyone in between will be invited to submit up to five images that they feel capture ‘life as they see it’, from the beautiful and powerful to the mundane and trivial. The photos can represent almost anything: daily life, democracy, torn sweaters, boring Sundays, friends’ antics, raised eyebrows or just whatever has caught their eye – the beauty lies in that it is completely open to interpretation.

The competition is open for entries between 1 May and 14 June 2024. All three winners will have their photos exhibited in the FUJIFILM House of Photography gallery, as well as being featured in a new Fujifilm brand film. The brand film will premiere on 28 June at the FUJIFILM House of Photography, with the winners announced on the same day. To enter, and for more information on the competition, please visit https://www.fujifilm-houseofphotography.com/blog/item/life-as-you-see-it-competition/.

In addition to the online competition, Fujifilm is inviting the public to come into the FUJIFILM House of Photography and curate their own community exhibition. The gallery will open as an empty space, and throughout June and July, any visitor to the store will be able to print one of their photos for free on Fujifilm’s Easy Print kiosks, and then personally hang the photo on the gallery wall to be part of the exhibition.

Theo Georghiades, General Manager – Imaging Solutions, FUJIFILM UK, commented, “The return of our FUJIFILM House of Photography will provide an extensive and holistic experience, not just for photographers, but for creatives from all walks of life. As the go-to brand when it comes to picture taking and picture making, we have designed the store to be a destination where our team can discuss our customers’ full photographic needs from end to end.

“From live music gigs to panel talks and headshot services, our refreshed space will inspire and nurture the UK’s limitless passion for creativity, showcasing Fujifilm’s unwavering commitment to experiential retail and the creative community.” Visitors can find the new FUJIFILM House of Photography at 8-9 Long Acre, London, WC2E 9LH, with the space open during the following hours:
