Peter Cruse Photography

I moved back to Illinois on November 1st, and I'm looking forward to working with all the lovely people I worked with before I left, and all the new people I haven't met yet!

I began photographing people in 2006. I've come a long way since then, and found that photographing isn't just about making money. It's about capturing beauty and moments in time. It's about making people feel emotion. It's making order out of chaos, my photography professor used to say. And he was right. Sometimes I look at a finished photo and think of all the setup that went into it, all the chaos of the moment. People don't see that when they see the image, they just see what we want them to see in the way we want them to see it.

I'm here on model mayhem to ever expand my working portfolio. To meet new talented people, and to help who I can along the way. I want to create order here. Beautiful, powerful and emotion invoking photographs. And I would love to create them with you! Let's make some art!
