Thom Gilbert, Photographer, New York

Description

This extreme macro photograph by Thom Gilbert captures a detailed close-up of an animal eye surrounded by light, coarse fur. The frame focuses tightly on the eye, highlighting long, delicate white eyelashes curving outward over a dark pupil and iris. The surrounding skin reveals fine pinkish undertones and detailed hair follicle textures. The composition employs a shallow depth of field, bringing the eyelashes and eye surface into sharp focus while the surrounding fur softens toward the edges of the frame. Natural lighting emphasizes the tactile quality of the hair and the glossy surface of the eyeball.
