Rineke Dijkstra is a photographer that did a series of portraits of people on the beach in front of the ocean. Her subjects are centered which puts the focus of the viewer on them. In some of the portraits such as the one on the right have a light on the subject that also contributes to the focus on the subject. While shooting this series, "Beach Portraits", she didn't communicate much with the subject. She wanted genuine feelings and emotions to be conveyed in the photograph. She once said that “When you take a photograph, you look in a more objective way, but there is also a connection between photographer and subject."
