We can photograph any age from 3-4 years and up as long as they are able to hold their head still and rest it in a chin rest.

Yes, included in the price is a web/social media size of your Iris.

What is Iris photography?

It is a macro photo of your Iris. This is an individual one of a kind piece of art. All shapes and colours are captured with great care, using specialised equipment.

Will my Iris be retouched or altered, will it be my own eye and colour?

The colour and structure of your eye is captured and reproduced without changing any colours or the structure of your eye. We take a few photographs of your Iris and these are used to overlay and remove any distracting elements such as lights.

Is Iris photography harmful to the eye?

It is safe and not harmful to your eye. The little lights we use are very bright which can sometimes make it hard to keep your eye open.

I wear contact lenses, is this a problem?

Contact lenses cause random effects. Therefore, they should be removed to accurately capture your Iris.

I have epilepsy can you still photography my eye?

It is best to give me a ring so that we can discuss your needs.

Why does my Iris photo look different on other digital devices?

When you view your digital photo on different devices it may appear different, this is due to the many different makes and models of screens available and has nothing to do with photography. The best colour representation is achieved on our calibrated screens and printed products.
