The qualities VII is looking for in new members are both photographic and character driven. We invite a wide range of styles, approaches and philosophies towards image making, visual storytelling, reportage and personal artistic endeavor. What is critically important is the level of quality, professionalism and vision. Furthermore, your personality and willingness to collaborate, cooperate and get involved in growing the agency is essential. We are seeking people who have ideas and are enterprising in their creative approach.

Should new members be accepted, there will be a two-year period where both parties evaluate the relationship, based on the photographic level and the personality of the individual. During this period, there is a monthly fee and a percentage cut of archive sales, assignments and projects. Successful applicants are treated the same as a full member with the exception of voting rights. Beyond this period, a new member will become an owner of the company.
