She has worked with several well-known photographers such as Meisel, Patrick Demarchelier, Ellen Von Unwerth, Mario Testino, Peter Lindbergh, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

In 2008, Hearst was recognized as "Model of the Year" at the Michael Awards,[4] and chosen "Best International Supermodel" at the Madrid Glamour Awards.[5]
