Transforming Your Iris Into Art: From Photography to Print
Iris Photography is a unique way to capture the intricate beauty of the eye and transform it into stunning personalised art. What makes this form of photography so special is not only the uniqueness of each person’s iris but also the creative possibilities when turning the image into a finished piece of artwork. Here’s a look at how the process works, from the initial photograph to the final print, and how you can choose the perfect way to display your iris.
Step 1: Capturing the Iris
The journey begins with an Iris photography appointment at my garden studio in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire where specialised macro photography equipment is used to capture a high-resolution image of your iris. This involves using controlled lighting to highlight the natural textures, patterns, and colours within the eye. The process is quick, safe, and painless—within minutes, you’ll have a beautifully detailed photograph that showcases the unique features of your iris.
Step 2: Editing and Customisation
Once the photograph is taken, the creative process moves into the editing phase. Here, the raw image of your iris is enhanced to bring out its natural beauty. Depending on your preferences, the editing process can range from plain basic Iris’ or more vibrant and artistic interpretations. Clients can choose various customisation options, such as:
Personalised elements: Incorporate meaningful words, song lyrics, or dates within the design, making it even more personal and unique to you.
Multiple iris compositions: For couples or families, multiple irises can be combined into a single artwork, symbolising the connection between loved ones.
Step 3: Choosing Your Print Style
After editing, it’s time to decide how to bring your iris artwork to life. There are a variety of print styles available to suit your taste and home décor:
Framed Print: A classic choice, framed prints allow you to display your iris in a traditional or modern frame. Whether you choose a simple black frame or something more ornate, the framing enhances the beauty of your iris, making it a standout piece of wall art.
Acrylic Prints: Which are my favourite. For a sleek and modern look, acrylic prints are a popular option. The high-gloss finish of the acrylic material makes the colours of the iris pop, giving the artwork a striking, contemporary feel. This style works beautifully for clients who want their iris to be the focal point of a room.
Canvas Prints: Canvas prints offer a softer, more textured appearance and are ideal for adding warmth to your space. The matte finish of canvas art lends itself well to homes with a more casual or rustic aesthetic, while still showcasing the unique details of your iris.
Acrylic Ice Blocks: If you’re looking for something truly different, acrylic ice blocks offer a stunning 3D effect. These freestanding blocks allow light to pass through the artwork, creating a striking visual that makes the intricate details of the iris appear even more dynamic.
As a gift: Iris Photography makes for a thoughtful and meaningful gift. Whether it’s for a partner, family member, or friend, gifting a personalised piece of iris art can create a lasting memory for someone special. Gift vouchers are available, valid for a year. Just give me a shout to purchase.
