Geoff Reinhard is a photographer and producer based in New York City.

Originally from Chicago, Reinhard has a degree in architecture from the University of Southern California and attended the prestigious Portfolio Center in Atlanta. He began his creative career in advertising in São Paulo, Brazil, eventually arriving on Madison Avenue, where he created award winning multi-media campaigns for clients including HBO, Nike, Grey Goose, Tommy Hilfiger, Johnson & Johnson and the City of New York.

With an eye for design and a passion for the visual medium, Reinhard’s travels to Guatemala in 2007 with renowned photographer Phil Borges helped cultivate his passion for photography while he mentored children of Santiago de Atitlán in the art of digital storytelling. His travels to South Africa in 2009 with Pulitzer Prize–winning photojournalist David Turnley resulted in a series of bold and vibrant images that tell the story of the local surf culture on the beaches of Cape Town.

As a visual storyteller, Reinhard’s experiences in both photojournalism and advertising have greatly influenced his photographic style. His work balances pop culture and real moments resulting in a colorful body of work that illustrates an awareness of the mundane, a whimsical wink and an underlying sense of humor.

Reinhard is a contributing photographer for Hamptons magazine and his work is part of private collections in New York City, the Hamptons, Palm Beach, Los Angeles, Boston, London and Switzerland. He splits his time between Manhattan and his studio in East Hampton.
