2009 Joop Swart Masterclass

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, which shares the context of each story and the photographer's ideas and approach.

Touch is an edit of the masterclass participants’ photo essays, each with its distinctive – often widely variant – interpretation of the theme. This hardcover book also puts the stories into perspective, and provides background information on the participants and their masters. Touch presents a variety of styles, interpretation and insight.

The following 12 photographers are included in the book:

• Ali Akbar Shirjian
• Alvaro Ybarra Zavala
• Benedicte Kurzen
• Dirk-Jan Visser
• Don McNeill Healy
• Gihan Tubbeh
• Kathryn Cook
• Kosuke Okahara
• Mads Nissen
