This new series showcases recent work from alumni of VII Community. Every few months, we will invite two to three alumni of VII Community to present their stories on a particular theme.

VII Community, in partnership with PhotoWings, provides a career-enhancing network for VII Academy and Foundry Photojournalism Workshop alumni worldwide.

In this first episode, we will be seeing and discussing the work of alumni Roger Anis (his project “Oh Mysterious Nile…Will you be Immortal?”), Amina Kadous (“White Gold”), and Geremew Tigabu (“Eye of the Storm”).
