Abstract macro shots of eyes presented in a three-by-three grid form next to one another. It’s a simple idea that I chose for the aesthetic patterns of the iris.

The idea initially came from seeing my iris changing when I turned the light on. I took photographs holding the my camera lens back the front in order to get closer photographs of the pupils. I waited for the lens to focus since I had to do everything manually by physically moving the camera backwards and forwards (ie. closer and further away from the subject).

I took various shots of my friends looking in and out of the sunlight and changed some of the colouring of their eyes in the editing process to look like I got shots of several different people.
