A Conversation with Rineke Dijkstra
By Megan • Oct 9th, 2007 • Category: News for Creatives (archives)Anne-Celine Jaeger reports for Pop Photo:
“Dutch photographer Rineke Dijkstra tends to work in series, concentrating on individual portraits. She focuses on people in a transitional stage of their life, such as women after giving birth in ‘Mothers’, adolescents and pre-adolescents on the beach in her ‘Beach’ series and new recruits in ‘Israeli Soldiers’. Her subjects stand facing the camera against a minimal background. The simplicity of the resulting image encourages us to direct all our attention towards the isolated subject. Dijkstra has published two monographs (Rineke Dijkstra:Beach Portraits and Rineke Dijkstra: Portraits) and her work is exhibited in museums worldwide.”
