About The VII Foundation
The VII Foundation is an independent, charitable media and education non-profit organization. It was founded by Ron Haviv and Gary Knight in 2001 when they recognized that media funding for long-term projects was diminishing. In order to continue to produce work that addressed complex social, economic and human rights issues, they started the Foundation as an independent non-profit structure to secure support for continuing documentary practice and education.

PhotoWings brings you VII Insider in partnership with The VII Foundation and VII Photo Agency
We are excited to announce that PhotoWings is partnering with The VII Foundation and VII Photo Agency to support and enhance the VII Insider programs.
PhotoWings' support allows VII to remove the financial barriers to full membership and make VII Insider available to everyone at no cost. Moving forward, VII Insider event recordings will be accessible on both the VII Insider platform and PhotoWings' expansive media archive.

About VII Photo Agency
VII is a storied photo agency founded a few days before 9/11 to challenge the convergence in the photography business when the trend for giant companies swallowing smaller independent agencies started. VII went small and photographer-owned, believing in the power and energy of collective effort when everyone else seemed to be going big and corporate. VII remains a disruptive and innovative business unafraid to swim against the prevailing currents.
About PhotoWings
PhotoWings' mission is to highlight and help facilitate the power of photography to influence the world. We help photography to be better understood, created, utilized, seen, and saved.
