Participants in the 16th Joop Swart Masterclass each produced a photo essay on the 2009 theme, Touch. An edit of
these essays has been published in a hardcover
photo book, entitled Touch, which shares the context of each story and the photographer's ideas and approach.
The theme stimulated an extraordinary array of reactions and interpretations, from gritty stories on challenging issues, to introspective confessionals of an inner journey. At times, Touch is physical. At times, it is imaginative or deeply emotional. The photographer's message is at times huge and public, sometimes intimate and private.
The result was a rich range of images. From hand-printed black-and-white photos to digital color, from abstract, intriguingly subjective collage to hard-edged documentary narrative, Touch presents a variety of styles, interpretation and insight.
