Photostudio de Jong

VPRO/NPO 2

Society is increasingly caught in the picture. We increasingly capture our lives in pictures. Everything in and around our lives is recorded. When we needed a whole our to only create just the right light for the first photograph, we now make an image in a split-second.

Time stands still. A good photo makes you think.

From his own little photo gallery in Rotterdam called Photo Studio De Jong Wilfried de Jong presents this documentary magazine program about photography. He focusses on all forms of photography. From interviews with photographers about the basics of a strong photo, to pure professional photography an youn photographers at the beginning of their careers. He discusses photo’s from the news, poetry, art and archives. De Jong is constantly looking for stories behind a picture and he stops where the image brings him.
