Desré Pickers

Desré Pickers grew up in the foot hills of Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. She splits her time between North America in the summer months and on the Nile River in Uganda during the winter months. Her passion is shooting extreme water sports using top international athletes, with a special focus on whitewater and kayaking. Over the years she has become a recognized partner of kayakers who are pushing the boundaries of their sport and breaking new ground.

Desré believes that if you want to capture a specific image, you need to be willing to do whatever it takes. Even if it means hanging off the back of a jet ski, swimming down rapids or balancing on the top of Victoria Falls. The harder you work for an image, the more rewarding the result will be.
