The committee commented on their task: "You're looking for photography that is not something that a lot of other people can do, but for work that transcends this. It's not enough just to like someone's aesthetic; there must also be something surprising about it. We're looking for another layer. We want to be moved, surprised, excited..." In preparation for the masterclass meeting in November, the participants will execute a photo essay on a theme, which for this year is "trust". Since 1994, the Joop Swart Masterclass has brought together some of the finest young photographers from around world, and leading professionals in the fields of documentary photography and photojournalism. It offers a focused, intimate and reflective learning experience to young photographers, aiming to foster their intellectual, artistic and professional growth. The Joop Swart Masterclass holds prime position among the seminars, debates and other educational programs regularly organized within the World Press Photo Academy. It is named after the foundation's late chairman, who was a passionate supporter of young photographic talent. Design: Heijdens Karwei, Amsterdam
