Indiana: The Heart of the Midwest

Indiana has a way of sneaking up on you. It’s more than just flatlands and cornfields—it’s a place with a rugged charm, where nature doesn’t beg for attention, but still leaves an impact. This series is my take on the Hoosier state: raw, real, and sometimes a little rough around the edges. From the vast, open skies to the thick forests and winding rivers, there’s a rugged beauty to Indiana that’s easy to overlook unless you stop and look. This collection isn’t about tourist destinations or glossy postcards—it’s about the real, unsung parts of the state that get left behind. It’s the quiet power of a thunderstorm rolling in, the solitude of an old barn against the horizon, the calm of a river before the dawn. It’s not the flashiest place, but there’s something about it that keeps you coming back. That’s what I wanted to capture—Indiana in its most honest, unpolished form.
