EspañolVII PHOTO AGENCY
The 'VII Photo Agency', is an international photographic cooperative, with offices located in New York, Paris, and Los Angeles. This collective of 10 photojournalists, was founded in Perpignan, France on September 9, 2001 by Alexandra Boulat, Ron Haviv, Gary Knight, Antonin Kratochvil, Christopher Morris, James Nachtwey, and John Stanmeyer. The original seven founding members were joined by Lauren Greenfield in 2002, Joachim Ladefoged in 2004 and Eugene Richards in 2006. Frank Evers has been the managing director since January 2005.
This group of photographers have documented historical events of the 21st Century (9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq and the Palestinian/Israeli conflict). Together with environmental, social and political stories this socially-conscious collective has produced a record of the injustices created and experienced by people across the globe.
This agency is designed from the outset to be an efficient, technologically enabled distribution hub for its photographers. In addition to representing its photographers for assignment and selling single images/features to magazine clients, VII has also developed an educational series of events designed for student and professional photographers (i.e. VII Seminar and VII Workshop series). In May 2008, VII will further expand on this educational program with the launch of the "New York Photo Festival", an annual festival for contemporary photography aimed at the general public. VII Photo has formed a joint venture with powerHouse Books to produce the New York Photo Festival.
American Photo Magazine named it the third most important entity in photography in April 2005.
