My name is Chris Peterlin and I love shooting more than anything.
I am a professional photographer currently located in Washington, Il. and I am interested in working with all types of models with any style.
I am not your typical photographer. A lot of people have asked me over the years why I call myself, Visually Odd.....There are many reasons. The main ones being that, for me, photography is about making art. Art that I like. I am delighted when others like what I do but I don't thrive on excessive compliments and what others think. I do not follow any rules and I do photography the way it works for me....At the same time, I am very open to change and learning new things.
I LOVE to be involved in projects with groups of models. No matter how long that project takes, I'm up for it.
I respect anyone who picks up a camera, gets in front of it, and those who make hair, makeup, and different styles work in the shoot setting. You are what this is all about. Whether you make money or not, it should be about what you can create first.
My resume includes work with over 450 models and many make up artists, fashion designers and hair stylists.
The Models of VOP Fashion and Rock Show has raised over $15,000 for charities including the MS Society, St. Jude's Children's Hospital, PAWS Chicago, and the American Diabetes Association.

If you are interested in setting up a shoot with me, please contact me here, via MySpace, or email me.. I am constantly working with designers and other creative artists for tear sheets. I love to work with the new and seasoned in this business. I learn from each person I meet....Please contact me if you are interested in collaborating.
I used to have aspirations of working with more Suicide Girls. I was involved professionally with one of the current Suicide Girls. We had a parting of the ways that was not friendly and it still saddens me to this day. Subsequently, I stayed away from SG for 6 years or more. I have decided not to live in the past and I look forward to meeting anyone I can in the SG world.
