I’ve been working as an Ophthalmic Photographer for 2 months at St Helens Hospital. I photograph eyes.
One of the less obvious, but extremely important, common features of eyes is the way they move, either by themselves or as part of a moveable head or body
My interest in science lead me to develop and combine my two loves, looking at the narratives with the technical expertise. Lennart Nilsson who is regarded, as the greatest scientific photographer in the world has been my main inspiration in scientific photography
Before starting this job I never thought how much we take our visual abilities for granted. The more I learn about eyes the more I realize how fascinating, amazing,suite of abilities and mysteries it is.These images are Powerful and emotive. I am hoping to visualize my appreciation about this beautiful part of body to the others who aren’t able to see with them with naked eyes!
In my previous posts Re: Topcon TRC, Florescent Digital Imaging I explained about Fundus imaging and florescent angiograms, which are the images I am concentrating on. I am hoping to visualise the diversity and beauty existed in scientific/ fundus images by messing with them artistically by using my photographic talent mixed with media and animation.
I have recognised a fascinating visual connection between medical fundus photographs (of the back of the eye) and imagery of Celestial objects such as Jupiter. I intend for my work to reflect such visual similarities and hope to be able to capture the sense of wonder I feel towards astronomical objects and the intricacies of the human body.
Few ideas how to present it :
