A Whole New World!
We all know the saying “eyes are the window to the soul.” Do you feel like bringing your inner essence to life through a piece of art that is personal to you? Welcome to the world of Iris photography! Using state of the art equipment we are able to show you details in the Iris that are hard to see with the naked eye. Whether its is the structures, colors, or details, we want to showcase the beauty of your unique existence.
Double
Create a unique piece of art by displaying two Irises. This is a great option for couples and siblings to showcase their uniqueness together. These can be displayed side by side or combined with special effects like explosion.
Family & Group
Display 3, 4, or 5 iris’s together in one print. It is perfect for families, and a unique way to create a new kind of family portrait. This is displayed in a panorama format
The Appointment
When you arrive we will sit down and get to know each other a little bit while you fill out a customer information sheet. This is also a great time to discuss any remaining questions or concerns. The next step is to have you look at each of your eyes in a mirror to determine the one you want photographed. Each eye can be fairly different, so this is a fun process! From there we will move into the back room and start the photography!
The process for making a photograph of your Iris usually takes about 15 - 25 minutes per person. If you are wearing contacts, this is when we will have you remove them. We provide complimentary contact solution and cases if needed. I will have you sit down in a chair and put your head against an optometry chin/forehead rest. After getting the focus aligned with the camera, I will use a flash (positioned about 8 inches from your face) at a 45 degree angle to your eye and make 4-6 images. We will then repeat this process on the other side of the same eye. Everyone’s body is different, and sometimes it can take some problem solving to achieve the best results. We are dealing with millimeters of focusing range, and it is a creative dance to get the best results. Please keep in mind that we use flash, and if you have an issue with bright lights it could be best for us to discuss this before booking an appointment.
After making the pictures we can discuss any print options you may have interest in. A low resolution digital file is included for you to share online and with friends, and is usually delivered two days after the appointment. This is not suitable for making your own prints! High Resolution files and prints are available for purchase separately. You can learn more about whats offered by visiting our Products Page.
We are currently accepting children over the age of 7. This has more to do with their ability to sit still during the process of making the image. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.
