Behind the camera
Hi, I’m Mike Durbin!
I’m a photographer based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. My work explores the dynamic interplay between the organic and the urban, capturing the raw beauty of nature, the storytelling potential of editorial scenes, the transformative power of public art, and the vibrant pulse of street life. Each photograph is a deliberate attempt to reveal the extraordinary within the ordinary, to find harmony in contrasts, and to tell stories that connect us to the world around us.
Ultimately, my work is about connection—between people and places, between the observer and the observed, and between the ephemeral and the eternal. Through my lens, I hope to inspire a deeper appreciation for the diverse tapestry of life and the world we inhabit.
As I capture and share moments of life in my backyard and beyond, it is my hope that my images serve as a reminder to people that there is great beauty in the world around us if only we take the time to stop and look.
Thank you for visiting!
