Photographer Suren Manevlyan is back with a new set of magnificent images of animal eyes. I say ‘back’ because even though we haven’t featured his images on ZME Science, there’s a good chance you may have seen them before on his personal page or on websites such as Twisted Sifter.

These amazing photos provide a fantastic level of detail, covering various different animals with very different eyes.

Born in 1976, Suren started to photograph when he was sixteen and became a professional photographer in 2006. Aside for photography, he also teaches physics, mathematics, projective geometry and astronomy at the Yerevan Waldorf School.

All the animals were alive when the picture was taken and they weren’t harmed in any way – maybe just a little annoyed.

He also worked from 1997 to 2011 as a scientific researcher at the Institute for Physical Research of National Academy of Sciences. His main area of focus was Quantum Chaos. All images via Suren Manevlyan.
