Since the beginning of the new millennium, more than half of the world’s population live in cities. In its 2010 and 2011 photo festivals Noorderlicht focuses on the consequences of this urbanization, both for the cities themselves and for rural areas. Land, the 2010 edition, takes stock of what remains of the old countryside idyll in a time of depopulation, a rising median age and agricultural mass production.
The first Dutch Doc Award for documentary photographers was won last week by Jeroen Kramer. The award is an incentive by the Dutch Doc to stimulate documentary photography in the Netherlands. Kramer won with his project Room 103, which was published by Noorderlicht last year.
Award winning book by Jeroen Kramer. It's available in our online webshop.
