Aaron DuRall
Queens, NY, USA
Aaron DuRall is a portrait and documentary photographer who currently resides in Queens, NY. After splitting the bulk of his formative years between his native Joplin, Missouri, and a post-divorce second home of Houston, Texas, Aaron sought to take his interest in collecting visual souvenirs to New York City.
As a dyed in the wool Midwesterner with a touch of southern affection, Aaron holds a deep affinity for the average and banal often found in the minutia of regular, everyday life. Having grown up firmly fixed in Missouri's lower class, Aaron's attention is often pointed toward that of his social and economic peers and their environments.
While Aaron's photographic interests are vast, including a specific emphasis in editorial and environmental portraiture, his strongest commitment lies in collecting honest moments of life in a relatable way.

Mason Standing

Mason in his bedroom, which doubles as his studio and creative space. This photo is from an ongoing series focused on artists who've transplanted to New York City. While NYC is often a choice destination for many artists and creatives, the question around this project isn't so much why people choose NYC because I believe that answer is generally apparent. Instead, the question centers on why they felt they couldn't stay where they were.
