Rudolf Franz Lehnert (13 July 1878 – 16 January 1948) was an Austro-Hungarian photographer, noted for producing Orientalist images.

Life[]

Lehnert was born in Gross Aupa (now ), in Bohemia, which was then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire (and now part of the Czech Republic).^[1]

He first travelled to Tunis in 1904, and in 1904 he again visited with his friend, and subsequent business partner, Ernst Heinrich Landrock. The pair established a photographic studio in Tunis and worked closely for more than 20 years. They later established studios in successively, Munich, Leipzig and Cairo, publishing the works as by "Lehnert & Landrock".

From the 1860s onwards photographs of people with different cultural values and sexual morality became popular for artistic and erotic reasons. According to , they border on racism and ethnocentrism.^[2]

Lehnert spent the last part of his life at Redeyef, , Tunisia, where he died.
