Questions Without Answers cover

Questions Without Answers presents the groundbreaking work of photo agency VII and includes over 50 stories by leading photographers such as Marcus Bleasdale, Alexandra Boulat, Ron Haviv, Gary Knight, Antonin Kratochvil and Christopher Morris. The extraordinarily talented group of photographers who make up this collective are at the forefront of digital, up-to-the minute photojournalism, providing an unflinching record of people and events around the world. From the end of the Cold War to the present day, this book brings together some of the most important, moving and compelling stories they have told – from images of 9/11 and the South Asian Tsunami to portraits of our most respected, cultural figures – and provides a powerful visual history of our changing world and its defining events.
