We present a large program of CCD imaging of low-luminosity radio galaxies selected from the B2 survey of radio sources. We aim to study their optical properties: brightness profiles, isophotal distortions, morphological peculiarities. As the sample contains jet and no-jet sources, this investigation will allow us to compare both populations of low-luminosity radio galaxies. In particular, we will study the local environment and test whether the galaxy density around radio sources plays an important role on the presence of jets or not. The analysis of morphological distortions on the host galaxies will provide us with detailed information on past or recent galaxy encounters.
