A glimpse of Venetia’s recent Exhibition

Venetia recently took part in ‘iSee’ an exhibition that brought together members of the VII Photo Agency with a new approach. Using only modern ‘phone photography’ the artists each displayed 5 images that had been taken on their phones and ipads, experimenting with this new aesthetic to capture with. You can see, and even buy, the prints displayed through Digital Silver Imaging. http://digitalsilverimaging.com/VII

The Visual Journey Seminars

VENETIA DEARDEN: My Life, My Style

“My photographic journey is very personal, and is really my life. I document what I feel, and where I’m at, which is obviously an ever-evolving state, so it’s very much a journey.” Venetia discusses working in stills and video to make a career of your personal passions.

VII Photo Agency are hosting an online seminar with Venetia on the 21st March, discussing her photographic style and how it has moulded her career. The event will take place at 12pm EST / 5pm GMT. You must register in advance, by the 19th March to access the seminar.
