Macro photographs of bugs' eyes: Thomas Shahan goes eyeball-to-eyeball with insects


Thomas Shahan, a 21-year-old photography student, zooms in on the world of spiders, insects and creepy crawlies, spending hours waiting for a single shot. His images capture the remarkable complexity and beauty of the eyes of an insect in stunning detail

The bug-loving student from Oklahoma, USA, doesn't use any trickery to create his remarkable macro photographs, just a digital camera, a zoom lens and a lot of patience


The young photographer became fascinated by the beauty of insect eyes whilst at college and immediately began going out into the wild to picture them
