Many of us take our eyes for granted. We do not think much about our vision until something happens to it, such as when a person starts to wear glasses for the first time, or looses their vision altogether. We also see the colours that make up the iris (the coloured part of your eye) as beautiful and one of the most interesting part of anyone's eye.
However, not all is as it seems. Armenian photographer
Suren Manvelyan can show you how:
Kind of different, isn't it? This series of photographs, titled "Your Beautiful Eyes," show that although the makeup of an eye is not exactly what many others would think, it is still beautiful in its own way. Once I got past the initial shock seeing the texture of an eye, I could appreciate the millions of years evolution took to make our eye what it is today. But I still feel creeped out that this is a part of my body.
This series of photographs show that there are many types of photography a person can pursue. Those who enjoy photography but worry that they will not be successful in that artistic field can realize that such types of photography such as still lifes and portraits are not the only way to go. The scientific field, for example, needs photographers to visually record the breakthroughs and/or trials of their research. Police and such other investigators need photographers who have a strong stomach to be able to take pictures of a crime scene. These photos do not need to be as artistic, so they are great for those who are unsure about going after a career is forms of artistic photography.
It also goes to say that photography teaches others about the world, and that photos are just as great a learning tool as books.
