- Rineke Dijkstra was born in Sittard, the Netherlands, in 1959
- Studied photography at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam from 1981 to 1986
- A self-portrait produced during her rehabilitation, in which she is seen having just emerged from a pool, exhausted, sparked a new direction in her work
- These formed her breakthrough Beaches series (1992–96), which featured her young subjects in different locations in the United States and Europe
- She also commenced a series of images of Almerisa, an adolescent Bosnian refugee, whom she continued to photograph until 2003
- She has also focused on particular individuals entering the military, as in her images of Olivier Silva, a French Foreign Legionnaire (2000–01), and new inductees into the Israeli army (2002–03)

- Renike is influential to my work as she has created sets of images over a period of time. The series of images go on a journey with the subject or several subjects to show how their life changes throughout the time she spend capturing them.

Final Flower Time Lapse
This is my flower time lapse which is now finished. I am happy with it but I did miss one of the stages out so it does jump a little bit but considering I did not know the software and also its my first movie created by images, I am quite proud of it.
If I could do it again I would try and catc every stage that I could as it was not possible for me to be there 24/7. Also if i knew the software a lot longer it might have also helped with alignment and design.

Frames
For my exhibition piece I have today ordered 12 frames as there was not enough to go round the whole class due to the majority of people exhibiting print work not screen based.
I have ordered a2 frames also as my grid is would be far too big at a1 size. This is how much grid is hopefully going to look but I have printed off some 6x4 pictures to move round to see where is best to place the hands. However this is just a basic look to see how it might end up like.

Diptychs
I have started to create some of Diptych portfolio pieces and they are look quite good.
Here are some examples:
I am liking the way they are set out and I think that this format really works and the pictures fit well together and a lot more interesting.
I am going to carry on creating these until i got around about 12 or 13 images all together for my portfolio box.

Flower
These flower images are some of the images I captured to put into my stop motion time piece. This is just a brief collection to show a small version of what the sequence starts off with and end, also the composition and also the colours used within it.
Research Richard Maplethorpe really helped and showed me different ways that I could capture the flower in different compositions.
