Rineke Dijkstra is a Dutch photographer born in 1959 and is well know for her sets of photos of people in transition. Her photos most often have a minimal background with the people she is taking the photo of looking at the camera. When asked "What is your aim when taking photos?" by POPPHOTO she replayed "I want to show things you might not see in normal life. I make normal things appear special."
