"Ophthalmic photography allows me to use my photographic talents to help people by gathering visual information for specialists in ophthalmology .Mostly I photograph retinas, but I also image corneas and lenses, the cells lining the inside of the cornea, and the facial area around eyes. I perform dye tests such as fluorescein angiography (FA) and ICG angiography (ICG-A), as well as specialized laser based testing such as Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT)."
he mentioned W.Eugene Smith as his main inspiration.W.Eugene Smith wanted his photographs of WWII to be an indictment of war. He wanted his images to change human behavior by showing people the horrors of armed conflict. Our nation's more recent history - from Korea to Vietnam to Iraq - demonstrates that he did not (possibly could not?) accomplish his goal. "I chose a smaller, but still worthwhile goal: to use my photography skills as part of a team that helps people see better"said PJSaine.The other reason he chose Ophtalmic photography as a carrier was a newness of the proffesion.
Here are some examples of his images that i found quite intresting the way he combines his artistic expertise with his photographic and scientific technique.
