Stunning macro portrait images bring out the symmetrical beauty of the faces of insects

This photographer's body of work really is a bug's life, as he captures the intricate beauty of insects through an array of macro portraits. Framed like studio shots of a human subject, Paul Parent's images get up close and personal with creatures ranging from wasps to dragonflies. Throughout the years, Parent, 60, from Montreal, Canada, estimates he has photographed more than 550 different insects in this way. The photographer, whose series is aptly named "Faces," said: "I look to depict the complex beauty of these insects, which is typically overlooked." (Caters News)
