New Name, Same Roots

Welcome to the all new Dispatch Collective, formerly known as 7521 Photography! The new name represents the core value of being sent out to explore new perspectives, together. The new name better reflects these core values and serves as a launching point for continuing work and new initiatives being launched this year.

It all started with the desire to see new perspectives through photography and to build community in the process. The name is just one piece of a bigger effort to ground the work Dispatch Collective is involved in. The core areas of Dispatch Collective are being introduced as the core four: photography services, Exhibition gallery series, The Shop, and Tiny Streets Big Eats Philly tour (starting in Spring 2026). A closer look at each area will be shared over the coming days.

It may not feel like it but this effort has been in the works since 2017 when 7521 Photography was first launched. Over the years, the twists and turns have led Dispatch Collective to where it is today: exploring new perspectives, together. Here’s to a year full of photos, walking and food tours, and hopefully Exhibition 3.0.

Cheers to all that is to come in 2026,

Tobin
