About VII The Magazine

VII The Magazine is an innovative online project that will give readers unprecedented intimate access and insight to the work of the world's leading photojournalists.
 
VII Photo represents 29 photojournalists working at the forefront news industry. Their work appears regularly on the covers and pages of the world's leading news media including Time Magazine, National Geographic, The New Yorker, The Times and now online at VII The Magazine.
 
The features are edited specifically for online distribution by Scott Thode (former Photo Editor of Fortune Magazine) and will be accompanied by intimate commentaries from the photographers themselves, recorded exclusively for this website. Michael Hanna of Protean Films (New York) has been consulting on video content and has produced The Interviews in The Magazine.
Concept and strategy behind VII The Magazine has been developed in collaboration with Morten Meisner and other creatives of Danish based communication agency Revolt. Revolt has also developed the elegant and flexible online infrastructure to showcase this remarkable project. VII Photo Managing Director Stephen Mayes comments, "This collaboration between the photographers of VII and top industry professionals across these disciplines has produced a visionary platform to showcase some great work. This innovative project will allow the photographers of VII Photo to spread their wings in choosing the subjects they cover and gives them a unique opportunity to tell the stories with unprecedented intimacy. We are excited to connect so directly with lovers of fine photojournalism in this way."
