Rineke Dijkstra is a Dutch photographer who takes mainly portraits against clean, simple backgrounds. What strikes me most about her work is the way she captures people on the edge of change. She photographs youth at the beach, awkward and shy, unsure of their bodies and themselves, or the women she photographs just after they have given birth, these women do not shy away with their bodies, they stand up taller and proud, holding on to their change and presenting it for all to see.
