Peyton Robinson is a Chicago-based writer, photographer, and film curator.
A graduate of Columbia College Chicago, she honed both her photographic and prose skills, of which she has had a long held passion.
Peyton is a staff writer for RogerEbert.com and Cinema Femme. For the latter, she is a yearly programmer and moderator for the Cinema Femme Short Film Festival, hosted by Chicago’s iconic Music Box Theatre. She also hosts a newsletter, UNPROMPTU, which houses personal essays, art criticism, and other musings.
Her photographic clients include Select Model Management, 10mgmt, Stewart Talent, Neiman Marcus, and Timeline Theatre.
Her creative approach—no matter the medium or form—is to investigate the feeling behind a story. Latching onto this pathos is what sets her work apart.
