Photo-Eddy

Photographer Eddy de Jongh gained fame in the 70s and 80s courtesy of his unadorned portraits of prominent public figures. As a young boy, director David de Jongh would often travel along with his father. When Eddy passes away, David sets out to look for the stories that his father had carefully concealed throughout his life. In his photographs and life Eddy created a world full of humour, adventure and beauty. At the same time however, his biography is defined by bankruptcies, broken relationships and addictions - events that not only he, but everybody around him suffered the consequences of.
