VII Photo Agency is thrilled to welcome into their new Mentor Program ten gifted young photographers with diverse experiences chosen from nearly 300 applicants from 65 countries.
The VII Mentor Program is an important commitment from our member photographers to transfer knowledge and experience to a younger generation of photographers. The first program of its kind, it has developed some of the brightest new talents in photojournalism since its 2008 launch.
Newly redesigned for 2021 in partnership with VII Academy, the Mentor Program will provide a structured professional environment, including Hostile Environment Awareness Training, for these emerging new talents in the industry.
The duration of the program is two years. During this time, mentees will have biweekly scheduled contact with program leader and VII photographer Ziyah Gafic.
