Touch galleries
The theme of the 2009 Joop Swart Masterclass was Touch. Each of the participants took around 30 pictures on this theme.

In addition to presenting their portfolios and the other activities involved in the masterclass, participants could air their views on aspects of editing, and learn from masters' experience in this field. Following this knowledge exchange, participants made their own special website edit of their photo stories. You can view individual galleries by clicking on a participant's name.
