Exquisitely Photographed Macro Shots Of Cat Eyes
Andrew Marttila turns cat photography into something almost hypnotic, and this series of macro shots proves it. Based in Philadelphia, he has built a following by getting incredibly close to his subjects, especially when the focus lands on the color, texture, and shape of a cat’s eyes.
Marttila has also shared plenty of his own story along the way, from growing up allergic to cats and dogs to eventually working through that challenge and building a career around the animals he loves. Alongside collaborations with famous feline names like Grumpy Cat and Lil Bub, he also lives with Haroun, a Bengal cat who often ends up in front of the lens.
