Isa de Jong (1998) is a portrait photographer based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

She aims to create time capsules about and together with her generational peers. Via collaborative portraiture, she tells personal and in-depth stories. These stories reveal not only the overall fear, uncertainty, and emotional state of this generation, but also the things they learned while making the time capsules.

Project

  • 20-05-2018 t/m 20-05-2019
  • Locatie: AKV | St. Joost , Breda
  • '20X20BY20' offers an intimate and unmediated in-road into the lives of twenty different twenty-year-old girls. Their stories doe not reveal the overall clumsiness, confusion, and excitement of this age. But also the emotional state, the uncertainty and the things they learned during this time. '20X20BY20' is a project about young women and the struggles of coming of age.

I am growing today

Project

  • 21-05-2020 t/m 20-05-2021
  • In samenwerking met: Stichting Beeldmix
  • Locatie: , Roosendaal
  • Two years ago, I started photographing twenty different twenty-year-old girls and quickly realized how aware they were of themselves and the identity they were portraying into the world. During these two years, I was allowed to witness their passage from girlhood into adulthood. The project focuses on their personal stories, personalities, histories and their dreams. Often presented in their own words. They told me about experiences that helped their adult personality take shape.
