Suren Manvelyan

Suren Manvelyan is an american photographer who has focused on many areas of photography. Among his most popular topics are his photos of animal eyes and human eyes. This photo is of a black rabbits eye and is my favourite out of his animal eyes collection because of the soft tones and the amount of detail that he has managed to capture.

Here I have taken a selection of close up photos of both dogs and cats. I chose this photo from the contact sheet as it was the one where the eyes present the most detail.  When editing the image, I have cropped it down so that the eyes are the main focus and then altered the levels and curves in order to increase the contrast and make the eyes further stand out. 

In order to develop this idea further I will need to try get closer to the animals, as this was restricting the amount of detail that I could capture. I will also need to try and take photos of different kinds of animals as the detail and style of them can vary greatly.
