Rineke Dijkstra’s minimalist style evokes form her viewers countless questions about her subject matter. Her portraits all seem very candid and spur of the moment but are often quite calculated and posed. She specifically deals with adolescents in her work, posing questions about how her subjects will grow up and what they will become. The juxtaposition of a simple background with the complicated nature of the concepts of her subjects makes her work very engaging.

“I want to show things you might not see in normal life. I make normal things appear special. I want people to look at life in a new and different way, but it always has to be based on reality. It's important that you don't pass judgement, and leave space for interpretation.” – Rineke Dijkstra
