About

Audrey Hope Rinehart spent many years hanging upside down from railway trestles and breaking into abandoned buildings, in pursuit of the perfect photo. As a touring arts and glamour model, she had the opportunity to live and work in creative and vibrant cities across the US. Rinehart participated in all things photography - from all-day desert shoots in Vegas and Los Angeles, to studio lighting workshops in NYC. Rinehart began assisting established photographers in 2009.

Eventually, she came to work with and be taught by photographers whose images were instrumental in portraying the zeitgeist of the 1970s and ‘80s punk scene, as well as artists whose figural work helped shape the way we light the nude today. She took the skill set she learned and began shooting her own work, including emotive figure studies and self-portrature soon after. In 2023, Rinehart opened her own studio in her hometown of Asheville, NC. Her focus moved towards mainstream beauty, glamour and fashion - a stark departure from the subject matter she was trained to portray.

Rinehart currently lives and works in NYC where she seeks to bring a fine arts perspective to mainstream looks. Over the years, her work as both a model and photographer has been featured in various shows, books and alternative media in the US and Europe.
