Audrey Hope Rinehart spent her 20s and 30s 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.

From 2009-2012,Rinehart helped manage a photography studio on Boston’s North Shore, focused on boudoir and elegant erotica. She flew and drove across the US, often sleeping in her car, in order to make shoots in different states over the course of multi-month tours. Rinehart 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.

Rinehart moved back home to WNC in 2019, where she draws on her passion for capturing human beauty and diversity, to create colorful dynamic portraits and arts photography. 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.
