Few things can throw you off balance like being photographed in your bathing suit. Not quite naked, you have to worry about how to stand and position your body as well as various bits of elastic supporting and containing you. The bathing suit photo, even when a casual snapshot, is both extremely self-conscious representation and a moment of helpless vulnerability. These conflicting qualities-poise, concentration, uncertainty, self-consciousness-are all qualities Rineke Dijkstra seeks out.
