Rineke Dijkstra — Biography



1959 Born
1981-86 Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

 

Rineke Dijkstra (Sittard, 1959) is a Dutch photographer.

Rineke Dijkstra attended the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam from 1981 until 1986.

Dijkstra concentrates on single portraits, and usually works in series, looking at groups such as adolescents, clubbers, and soldiers. Her subjects are often shown standing, facing the camera, against a minimal background. This compositional style is perhaps most notable in her well-known beach portraits, which generally feature one or more adolescents against a seascape.
