He admits being emotionally exhausted after 5 years of a challenging business and human experience. He says if he could do one more thing for this group of 23 photographers, he would like to help them go towards a completely new sustainable and expandable line of business implying new technologies.

Stephen Mayes argues that the rise of digital changed the very nature of photography by moving it from a fixed image to a fluid one. Photography is less about document or evidence and more about community and experience … and that’s not a bad thing.

VII Photo and Canon: Finding new ways of reaching new audiences – British Journal of Photography

“All the photographers at VII have been working with Canon gear for many years,” VII Photo’s managing director Stephen Mayes tells BJP. “In the past, we’ve always focussed on the EOS gear because that’s the stuff they mainly used.

What does the photographers want to use them for?’ and that’s how it blossomed. The photographers say they use the cameras in different ways.”
