VII Photo is synonymous with courageous, impactful, and impassioned photojournalism. VII Photo’s contributing photographers have created significant stories and pivotal bodies of work that have changed public perception and policy.
"Where Our Land Was" tells the stories of people struggling to cope as their land is transformed beneath them: the farmer who went to war with neighbors over pasture and water, the nomadic elder struggling to adapt as his way of life dies off with his herds, the mother displaced from her land by drought and facing an uncertain new world.
Politico recently published Danny’s poignant essay titled "Iowa’s Frozen Caucus," vividly depicting the disconnection he experienced during this year’s Iowa caucuses. Danny sat down with fellow VII Photo contributing photographer Ashley Gilbertson to discuss the work.
