> >VII derives its name from the number of founding photojournalists
> >who, in September 2001, formed this collectively owned agency.
> >Designed from the outset to be an efficient, technologically enabled
> >distribution hub for some of the world's finest photojournalism, VII
> >has been responsible for creating and relaying to the world many of
> >the images that define the turbulent opening years of the 21st
> >century.

> >social and political, both violent and non-violent - to produce an
> >unflinching record of the injustices created and experienced by
> >people caught up in the events they describe.
