Elizabeth Rajchart

Elizabeth Rajchart is a disability rights and accessibility advocate, performance photographer, and disability portraiture photographer from St. Louis, Missouri. Elizabeth has been an educator on disability rights since childhood, first leading lessons disability etiquette in elementary school, later giving school-wide lectures to her middle school teachers, and eventually becoming a Crisis Intervention Team speaker and trainer for the St. Louis City and County police. Her experience with having to advocate for herself and her mental and physical illnesses since childhood have given her decades of experience and a unique perspective on the importance of self advocacy. As a disabled photographer, Elizabeth's passion of art accessibility and arts representation led her to her latest specialization of disability portraiture, her goal to reach other people in her community and capture their inner beauty, strength, and uniqueness. Elizabeth has covered a range of productions, including local bands, pole dancing showcases, professional dance teams, major stadium tours, and local and international drag shows. Most recently, Elizabeth's work was featured in an anthology of art and writing about disability and love.
