Every human eye is unique—just like a fingerprint—and our goal is to transform that one-of-a-kind combination of colors, patterns, and reflections into a true work of art.

    We use professional macro photography equipment, precise lighting techniques, and careful post-production to capture even the finest details of your iris, revealing its hidden beauty in a way you’ve never seen before.

    Whether you’re looking for a personalized portrait, a unique gift, or simply wish to explore the magical micro-world of your eyes, Iris Photo Art allows you to preserve that uniqueness forever.

  • You can contact us via email, phone, or social media to schedule your photoshoot. Our team is available to provide all the necessary information and will be happy to help you choose the best time based on your preferences and availability. Additionally, for your convenience, we have enabled online booking through our website, where you can easily select the date and time that works best for you. After confirming your reservation, you will receive all the necessary details about the photoshoot process and preparation to ensure that your experience is as pleasant and memorable as possible.

  • Not at all. The process is completely safe and painless. It takes just a few minutes and requires no physical contact – all you need to do is calmly look into the lens while our team adjusts the lighting and focus. We use specialized macro photography equipment and customized lighting that is designed to avoid discomfort, glare, or eye irritation. Whether you come alone, with family, or as part of a unique gift experience, the session is designed to be smooth and comfortable.

  • The photo session itself only takes a few minutes, but we recommend setting aside 15–20 minutes so we can fine-tune the lighting and angle to ensure the best possible result.
  • After the photo session, the editing process takes 1–3 business days, depending on the selected package and level of customization. Each image goes through detailed post-production, where we enhance the colors, contrasts, and fine details of your iris to ensure maximum clarity and artistic impact.

    Once editing is complete, the image is transferred to an Ultra HD aluminum print using a high-quality heat-press process at 200°C. This ensures vivid colors, sharpness, and long-lasting durability without loss of quality. The final product is resistant to moisture, scratches, and UV exposure – making it ideal for a luxurious and modern art display. Your artwork is then carefully packed and shipped to your address or can be picked up in person at our studio.

  • Yes, it is possible to receive a digital version of your iris photograph, but for an additional fee, depending on the package and delivery format you choose.

    When photographing, we standardly process your image and prepare it for printing on aluminum, canvas, glass, or another material of your choice. However, if you would like to have a digital version in high resolution, we can provide it in a format suitable for printing, screen display, or sharing on social media.

    The digital version of your photograph goes through professional post-production, where we enhance the colors, contrasts, and details to ensure the final result is visually impressive. After the processing is complete, you will receive it via email or a download link in your desired format.

    If you wish to order the digital version along with your printed photograph, please let us know when scheduling or before sending the image for printing, so we can prepare the appropriate file for you.

  • Yes! An iris photograph is a unique and completely personalized gift, perfect for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, or significant life moments. Each iris is one of a kind, just like the person you’re gifting this art to, making this gift incredibly original and emotional.

    To make gifting easier, we offer the option to purchase a gift voucher. The recipient of the voucher can contact us to schedule their photography session at a time that suits them, without having to worry about the details. After the photo shoot, they can choose from various print formats and materials, including Ultra HD printing on aluminum, canvas, glass, or paper reproduction, with the option to add a digital version of the image.

    This is an ideal way to gift someone art, a keepsake, and a unique view of their own iris, with a guarantee of top quality and professional processing. 🎁✨

  • Yes, we do photograph children’s eyes, but we recommend that the child is at least 5 years old. It’s important that they are able to keep their gaze steady during the session. Macro iris photography requires eye stability to capture all the intricate patterns and details in high resolution.

    Younger children may have a natural blinking reflex or difficulty focusing on a fixed point, which can affect the quality of the photo. If your child can follow instructions and keep their eyes still for a few seconds while we adjust the lighting and focus, the session will be successful.

    If you’re unsure whether your child is ready, feel free to contact us for more information and tips. Our team is happy to help you determine the best approach to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for both the child and the parents. 😊

  • Yes, it is possible to photograph animal eyes, but the success depends on the animal itself and its ability to keep its gaze steady during the shoot. Iris macro photography requires precise focusing and eye stability to capture all the fine details and unique patterns that make the iris so fascinating.

    With some animals, such as dogs and cats, good results can be achieved with patience and proper conditions. However, with other species that are more restless or have reflective eyes, the process can be more challenging. It’s also important to consider the color and structure of the iris — in animals with very dark or very light eyes, details may appear less pronounced.

    We recommend contacting us before your visit so we can assess whether it’s possible to capture a high-quality iris photo of your pet and provide tips on how to prepare them for the session. 🐾📷✨

  • Unfortunately, image replacement is not possible, as each iris photo is a completely unique and personalized product created especially for you. Once the photo is taken, processed, and sent for printing, no further changes or replacements can be made.

    For this reason, it’s important to carefully review and confirm your satisfaction with the photo and final design before the editing and printing process begins. Our team is dedicated to ensuring every detail is flawless, with the highest level of quality and precision, so you receive a piece of art you’ll be proud to keep.

    If you have any doubts or specific requests, feel free to contact us before the final editing is completed — we’ll gladly help you achieve the best possible result!

  • Before the iris photo session, it is recommended that you:
    Arrive without contact lenses (if you wear them) or remove them at least 30 minutes prior to the session.
    Avoid using red-eye drops or other chemical preparations right before the photo shoot.
    If you experience dry eyes, you may use artificial tears a few hours in advance to make the iris appear fresher.
    Come well-rested, as fatigue can affect the appearance of your eyes (e.g., dilated pupils).
  • It is not recommended to take the iris photo while wearing glasses, as the lenses can cause reflections and distortions that affect the image quality. During the session, it is necessary to temporarily remove both glasses and contact lenses.
  • Yes! It is possible to photograph both irises and merge them into a single artistic composition that creates a unique and visually striking representation of your eyes. This option is ideal for those who want a symmetrical and harmonious design, as well as for couples, family members, or friends who wish to combine their irises into a shared artwork.

    The final appearance can be fully customized to your preferences – from the arrangement of the irises (side by side, merged into a mandala shape, or within a creative artistic layout), to color adjustments, contrast, and background design. You can also add personalized elements such as names, special dates, or symbolic messages to give the artwork even deeper meaning.

    This option is available at an additional cost, and our team will assist you in choosing the best editing style to ensure your composition looks spectacular and becomes a lasting artistic memory.
