Extreme Close-Ups of Animal Eyes

March 20th, 2013 by Lina | No Comments | Filed in Design

One of the nicest and surest ways to flatter a person is to compliment their eyes, but have you paid much attention to the eyes of the animals? Armenian photographer Suren Manvelyan (previously here) created a gripping Animal Eyes close-up photo series, which is a truly eye-opening experience! His pictures reveal the sort of vibrant colors and intricate details that would even make for a beautiful poster, and seeing something that’s hidden from the naked eye is always the beauty of macro photography.

Along with the Animal Eyes, Suren also studied a human’s gaze in the Your Beautiful Eyes series, but he doesn’t limit himself to photography only. Suren is also keen on sciences, such as physics and astronomy, and plays 5 musical instruments! Check out his photos and then try naming the eye color of your family members from the top of your head!

UK-based photographer Sharon Johnstone uses her macro lens like a key to open the fascinating world of little things. She comes back with a beautiful collection of macro photographs showing tiny drops of dew on dandelions.

“With macro photography I escape to another little world. I love exploring the tiny details in nature that often get over looked. I love finding beautiful colours and abstract compositions within nature and can even get passionate about photographing moss or a blade of grass. I think I am at my happiest when I am crawling around on my hands and knees exploring a small patch of moss dripping with sparkling dew in the early morning sun.”

Extreme Close-Ups of the Human Eye

March 17th, 2011 by Bored Panda | No Comments | Filed in Design

Don’t know about you guys, but we just love looking at things really close up! Some of you probably remember Looking at the World through a Microscope (Part I) and 20 Incredible Eye Macros, however this time let’s take a look at extreme close-ups of the human eye.

An Armenian physics teacher Suren Manvelyan used his friends, colleagues and pupils as models to make these amazing ocular portraits. He never thought he would see anything like that – when viewed really close up our eyes look like some dramatic surfaces of far and unknown planets.

“It is quite natural when you shoot macro shots of insects and plants, but to try to make a picture of the eye? I did not expect these results,” says Suren.

“I was not aware they are of such complicated appearance. Everyday we see hundreds of eyes but do not even suspect they have such beautiful structure, like surfaces of unknown planets.” ^[1]
