On August 30th, on Nan'an District's Huangjueya Old Street, photographer Robert was spotted taking a picture of a family in the old street.

CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- On August 30th, Dutch photography master Robert Van Der Hilst was shooting a family in Huangjueya Old Street. While shooting, this 75-year-old foreigner praised, "Chongqing is so beautiful!" A week ago, Robert came to Chongqing to find long-time families for the "Chongqing Interiors" theme shooting. On September 16th, 30 of his photography works taken in Chongqing will be exhibited.

According to Guido Tielman, the consul general of the Dutch Consulate-General in Chongqing, “Robert came to Chongqing for shooting at our invitation as we hope to preserve Chongqing's traditional old streets and historical and cultural characteristics.”

Robert once visited over 2,000 Chinese families in China's 24 provinces within six years to shoot the large-scale photography collection – "Chinese Interiors", and was invited to act as the president of the judging panel for China Pingyao International Photography Festival in 2004.

It is known that Robert will mainly shoot the old Chongqing families in the historic streets of Yuzhong District and Nan'an District in Chongqing this time. He has already shot in places such as Yuzhong District's Shancheng Lane, Danzishi, Dashiba, and Xiahao. Yesterday, he came to Huangjueya Old Street on Nanshan Mountain.

All Robert's photography works were taken by making use of natural light instead of polishing and almost never need post processing. Thus, his skill of photographing is clear at a glance. His works give people the painting-like feeling that can easily make people think of the works created by Dutch painters in the the 17th century, the Golden Age.
