Re Wikstrom - Inspiring Women through photography

Re Wikstrom has mountain biked in Canada, rafted the Idaho-Oregon border, ski toured in the Arctic, and traveled to many a wild place --and all alongside strong, inspiring women. Her mission is close to her heart: to use photography to bring female athletes to the forefront of the outdoor world. With a BFA in Photography and Visual Media from RIT, local and international publications, and her past role as Senior Photographer and Marketing Photo Manager at Backcountry.com, Re’s work is as much a product of her dedication and experience as it is passion.
During her tenure in the industry, Re landed the first cover shot of a woman on Backcountry Magazine, the first all-female cover shot for Skiing Magazine, and was the first woman to be blind juried into the Pro Photographer Showdown at the World Ski and Snowboard Festival. She counts fresh air and sunshine among her basic needs and jumps at any chance to trade laughs around a campfire.
