Eye’s planet Phenomenoa
In 2008 I started showing interest in scientific photography and looking at many of the subjects, which are recorded specifically because they have not been observed before, or cannot be observed directly.
I try to envisage how these images can be pleasing to the eye or even inspirational, since they often reflect aspects of the natural world, of science, and of technology that are not easily observed.
I develop my interest in scientific photography after starting a part time job at St Helens hospital as an Ophthalmic Photographer
During my work I have recognized a fascinating visual connection between medical fundus photographs (of the back of the eye) and imagery of Celestial objects such as Jupiter. This interesting visual connection leads me to reflect this similarity through the animation of my photographs by making a short video. Through this I hoped to try to capture the sense of wonder that I feel towards astronomical objects and the intricacies of the human body.
Drawing inspiration from Edward Muybridge’s work studying movement, I hoped to translate some of his innovation and technical approach to photography to the modern world.
6th and 7th draft animation
After more research about planet representation i decided to remake the animation in different perspective drawing influence from the way celestial bodies has been represented in various media particularly images taken from spacecrafts.

Planet's pictures
"These first raw images are spectacular, and paint an even more fascinating picture of Enceladus," said Bob Pappalardo, Cassini project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "The Cassini teams will be delving into the data to better understand the workings of this bizarre, active moon."
Un chien andalou
This 1929 silent surrealist film by Luis Bunuel has opening sequence in which a man compares a woman's eye with the moon.
