## Description

VII is a renowned photo agency with a rich history, founded just days before the tragic events of 9/11. In response to the changes in the photography industry, VII set out to challenge the status quo and redefine photojournalism. The agency's legacy began with co-founder James Nachtwey, a celebrated chronicler of conflict, who found himself at ground zero when the Twin Towers fell. Capturing powerful images amidst chaos, VII Photo Agency established a reputation for fearless, first-person photojournalism. Over the years, the agency expanded its focus from documenting war and violence to addressing critical global issues such as climate change, human rights, and social inequality. Despite the commercial trends of consolidation, VII remained photographer-owned and steadfast in its commitment to impactful and uncompromising photography. Today, twenty-one years later, VII continues to disrupt and document the most important stories of the new century. In addition to its journalism, VII has championed new voices in visual storytelling through its mentor program, amplifying the perspectives of emerging photographers from around the world. Join VII in witnessing and shaping the world through the lens of its exceptional photographers.
