A Romanian photographer has captured the unique patterns of hundreds of human eyes in a series of striking macro shots. Mogan Andrei, 26, began taking photographs of his friends' eyes in his hometown of Cugir in Alba County, Romania, to show the complex beauty of each visual organ. After posting his photographs online, Mogan, a graphic designer, received requests from admirers of his work to travel to the Romanian cities of Sibiu and Timisoara to continue his project.
