His process is instinctive and raw, rooted in emotion over perfection. Whether layering mixed media by hand or capturing portraits that live in quiet in between moments, Durden is driven by a need to create something that feels truly his. Editing is where he finds the real magic, transforming photographs into textured, intimate works that carry a sense of touch and unpredictability. For Durden, each piece is a meditation on feeling, solitude, and the imperfect honesty of being human.
