Iris Galerie provides an in‑gallery service that captures a high‑resolution photograph of a customer's iris, digitally enhances the image to highlight its unique colors and patterns, and prints it as a personalized artwork on a range of media such as photo paper, aluminium dibond, acrylic sheets, or blocks. Customers can select sizes from 15 cm to 180 cm, combine multiple irises on a single piece, and receive the finished print on‑site or shipped to their address.

Problem
People who want a personalized piece of art often lack a unique, high‑quality way to transform personal characteristics into a tangible artwork, and traditional portrait services do not capture the intricate details of the iris.
Solution
Iris Galerie offers an in‑gallery experience where state‑of‑the‑art photography captures the fine details and colors of a customer's iris within seconds. The image is then digitally optimized to highlight its uniqueness and printed on a variety of high‑resolution media, including premium photo paper, aluminium dibond, acrylic sheets, acrylic blocks, and custom frames. Customers can choose from sizes ranging from 15 cm to 180 cm and combine multiple irises on a single print. The service is available at physical gallery locations worldwide, where a technician performs the eye capture and assists with product selection. Finished artworks are either collected on‑site or shipped to the customer’s address.
