Rineke Dijkstra went to a beach to photograph portraits of adolescents. Her process is to take pictures of adolescent boys and girls right at the waters edge. The background is minimal with just the water and bland sky. A flash is used to reduce contrast and separate the subject from the background as I believe she intends the ocean scene only to be a consistency for the series, not an important part of it other than that because the kids are going to the beach they are in their swimwear. The subjects are standing rather straight and facing the camera.
