About
|
Retake was created in January 2020. Danielle Desnoyers founded it while living as an expat in Vietnam. She was a freelance photographer who worked with international clients, and she went on numerous nonprofit photography trips to India and Cambodia. Earlier in her career, she had been a photojournalist in Egypt and had worked with nonprofits with locations around the world. Through her travels and work, she saw how important photographs were to people of all different backgrounds.
Retake is based in Wilmington, NC, USA, but we travel to locations to photograph recipients. As it becomes safer, we will be adding more international locations. |

Danielle Desnoyers, Board President

Danielle has been a freelance photographer since she graduated with a bachelor's degree in Photojournalism from American University. The next decade was a steady rotation between working with photography clients, fundraising and communication for nonprofits, traveling and living in different countries, and managing restaurants in the US. She became a full-time international photographer in January 2018 and primarily lived in Vietnam. She also went on nonprofit photography trips to Cambodia and India for NGOs during that time. In January 2020, she combined all she had learned and witnessed throughout her career to create Retake. She is an avid reader, big fan of national parks, and devoted aunt to her many nieces and nephews.
