COMUNICADO DEL JOOP SWART MASTERCLASS AL FORO IBEROAMERICANO DE FOTOGRAFIA


Dear Enrique,

With this email we would like to inform you that last Thursday 19 April the selection of the participants for the 2007 Joop Swart Masterclass took place.

An intensive day was spent on paying each portfolio the utmost attention. The members of the selection committee discussed all portfolios extensively. They agreed on the high standard of the work submitted. Besides selecting photographers on their individual qualities the committee also focussed on creating a well-balanced group of students.

The selection committee was formed by:
Carolyn Cole (USA), photographer Los Angeles Times
Frédérique Deschamps (France), picture editor Le Monde
Susan Meiselas (USA), photographer Magnum Photos
Adriaan Monshouwer (the Netherlands), commercial director Hollandse Hoogte
Aidan Sullivan (UK), Vice President Photo Assignment Getty Images North America

Attached you will find the list of nominated photographers, as well as the press release about the selected photographers with some quotes from the selection committee. I also attached two pictures of the committee at work made by Allard de Witte. Again we would like to thank you for putting forward your nominees.

Kind regards,

Evelien Kunst

PRESS RELEASE
 
Amsterdam, 23 April 2007

 

PARTICIPANTS SELECTED FOR 2007 JOOP SWART MASTERCLASS

 
Twelve young photographers will come together with a group of masters for the 14th annual World Press Photo Joop Swart Masterclass to be held from 3 to 8 November 2007 in Foam_Fotografiemuseum, Amsterdam. The 12 participants were selected from a total of 113 international candidate portfolios. During the masterclass meeting, the participant photographers will interact with seven prominent experts, discussing technical, journalistic and ethical aspects of their work.


The following 12 photographers were selected to participate in the 2007 masterclass:

·      Ghaith Abdul-Ahad, Iraq

·      Olivia Arthur, United Kingdom

·      Christoph Bangert, Germany

·      Kate Brooks, USA

·      Alexandra Demenkova, Russia

·      Agnes Dherbeys, France

·      Munem Wasif, Bangladesh

The purpose of the masterclass is furthering young and talented photographers' insight in photojournalism. In preparation for the meeting, the participants will execute a photo essay on one single theme, which for this year is: ‘Fragile’. The essays will be discussed during sessions with the masters and edited into a publication.

The participants were selected by an independent, international selection committee consisting of Carolyn Cole (USA), photographer Los Angeles Times, Frédérique Deschamps (France), picture editor Le Monde, Susan Meiselas (USA), photographer Magnum Photos, Adriaan Monshouwer (the Netherlands), commercial director Hollandse Hoogte and

“An amazing and enriching experience to see so much quality, diversity and passion for photography.” (Adriaan Monshouwer)

“Knowing how important it is for these extraordinary photographers to be part of this prestigious event, makes our role tough, but so rewarding.” (Aidan Sullivan)
