Attended a pop up shop after seeing iris photos a few years ago and not being able to get the idea out of my head. The whole experience was nice and easy. We were put at ease from the moment we walked in and all our questions were answered. The process was nice and quick and we had the finished article emailed within a week and it was then up to me to get them printed. I had a few more questions about this which I hadn’t asked at the time but received quick responses to my emails and now have my daughters and my irises on display at home. Something a little bit different (and personal) for someone who couldn’t decide on a nice piece of art for in the house.

Booked last minute for myself and my partner. Elton was incredible in talking is through the process and his life story. He was passionate, polite, kind and genuine. Couldn't recommend him more. The photos were incredible and I was blown away when I received them 3 days later. Absolutely must book with him for Iris Photography if given the chance. Thanks again Elton, you're a legend mate x

I was hesitant at first about having an eye photograph taken, but I realised that it would make a great memory and keepsake of my families eyes. Elton was a fabulous host and welcomed us to the venue. He explained the process very well and made us all feel very comfortable. The process was quick and easy and surprisingly not blinded by flashing lights! Elton explained the next steps and our photos were ready to view and download within a day or two. Very impressive. I would highly recommend The Touring Eye. For a professional service and amazing results, it is great value for money. Worth every penny.

Would definitely recommend Elton for this service. As a family this is the second time we have had our irises photographed and the images provided by The Touring Eye far surpassed the originals in detail and clarity. The digital images were delivered within a few days and I can't wait to have these printed and get them up on display. If you are thinking of getting yours done, use The Touring Eye for a relaxed experience and fab results :-)

I’ve always wanted a picture of mine and my husband’s eyes together, but the closest place we knew that offered iris photography was London, and we didn’t want to travel that far. So when this pop-up event came near us, I just had to book it, and I’m so glad I did! The whole experience was quick, easy, and really enjoyable. We absolutely love the final result, and it’s something we’ll treasure forever. Thank you, The Touring Eye, for creating such a special keepsake!
