About heist
Heist Gallery is a fine art photography collective in Notting Hill, the brainchild of three fine art photography lovers – Mashael Al-Rushaid, J. Harry Edmiston and Anna Pia Lubinus. In 2013 J. Harry Edmiston and Anna Pia Lubinus created heist.-online, a virtual space showcasing works by fine art photographers from around the world. The art was selected based on appreciation and the success of this online space helped them recognise a gap in the market. The pair came together with like-minded patron of the arts, film investor and fine art photography lover, Mashael Al-Rushaid, and heist.’s physical space came to fruition.
Located in a residential property in Notting Hill, heist.’s offline space creates an immersive art experience for appreciators of fine art photography. The space combines photography, food and performance art to create an unforgettable, experiential engagement with fine art photography. heist. supports the online space by showcasing exhibitions and hosting private dinners and workshops.
