The 53-year-old assistant professor at the University of Manchester, located in the UK, wowed the public with a display of photographs of tiny flying creatures.
According to the British tabloid MailOnline, the 53-year-old assistant professor at the prestigious Metropolitan University claims to have photographed miniature fairies fluttering in a rural UK countryside.
According to John Hyatt, his photographic hunt for tiny creatures began two years ago in the Rossenday Valley, located in Lancashire, but he only recently decided to provide the obtained images for an exhibition and thus show them to the public.
The university professor, who devotes all his time to research and innovation in the field of art and design, insists that his photographs are genuine and strongly rejects suspicions of using Photoshop.
The Briton, who was previously a member of the punk group Three Jones, says that adults looking at the pictures are at a loss and eventually come to the expected conclusion: this simply cannot be.
“My photographs shocked people, because what they saw did not fit into their worldview at all,” said the 53-year-old associate professor. - And I think this is a kind of message to all of us, so that we approach them with an open mind. This is one of those situations where you need to believe your eyes. You know, many people who got acquainted with the images I received admitted that the images brought into their lives a little magic, which is so lacking in their daily routine."

The man posted several photos on social media, which caused controversy: critics smashed his work to smithereens, forcing fans of the paranormal to defend the author of the pictures.
“Despite the reaction of skeptical people, I hope that photographs will still change their perception of the world around them. Based on my observations, tiny fairies with wings have fun and dance in the sunlight, but I do not consider them to be smaller copies of us. Apparently they have some kind of special energy and abilities."
After the pictures were made public, the assistant professor specially photographed flies and mosquitoes to prove the dissimilarity of fairies with these insects.
