Elton's photographs of our irises are amazing. Who thought that eyes could be so fascinating up close. Me and two of my daughters had our eyes photographed and the whole experience was great. Very professional, very interesting - Elton explained how it would all work, and it all went painlessly. I'm so pleased with the results and looking forward to putting them up on display at home - I'm sure I'm going to get lots of interest from friends and family. I'd totally recommend the Touring Eye for something completely different and unique!

We recently decided to have our eyes photographed as it was something we always wanted to do. Elton explained in detail exactly what he was going to do and what we had to do.It was a really nice experience. I would definitely recommend.

The most incredible experience. Elton was very kind and easy going. He explained everything in great detail and was happy to answer any questions me and my partner had. The entire experience was amazing, the pictures were amazing and the best part, I was expecting my picture Friday and I got them the same day! Thanks again Elton.

Elton made the whole process from booking to photos extremely easy. He was on hand to answer any questions we had and made us feel very comfy on arrival. He's a friendly guy who clearly has a huge knowledge in photography and it was a fabulous experience from start to finish. We now have the photos on our wall. A huge thank you and wishing you every success as you tour the country Elton

I cannot recommend Elton and TheTouringEye enough. We have wanted to have this done for a few years now. A lovely gentleman and a wonderful experience. The results were better than either of us expected 😀 Highly recommended. You will love the results. Sam x

What an amazing experience and something so individual. I’d seen the ads around and always wanted to do this with my children as I simply love the color of their eyes. This gives me something truly individual to keep that is unique to them! The whole experience was smooth and quick and Elton did his best to make both of my kids comfortable with the experience. He took the time to explain the process and show my kids what to do and talked them through all of the aspects of it. He let them take time when they needed and was super respectful of their comfort trying to make sure the whole process for them went well. Highly recommend this if you get the chance

Lovely experience, gentleman was very polite, explained everything in detail and made me very comfortable. Even though we had the Easter holiday in between, delivery of my prints was very fast and they look amazing. Thoroughly recommend this experience.

  • A 15 – 30 minute photography session (depending on number of attendees in your booking)
  • 10–15 high-resolution shots taken of your iris

  • Free special edit (included in A4 package): Explosion for single attendees or Infinity for multiple attendees
  • Optional upgrades for creative edits (Infinity / Clash / Explosion / Smoke)

Each person gets their eye as an individual image and then there is also an image of the three eyes side by side

etc for 4 or more eyes. Each eye comes as a separate image along with an image containing all eyes together.


What’s Not Included

  • Instant prints (I don’t do quick-and-dirty edits – quality takes time)

FAQs – Your Questions Answered

How long does a session take?
Each session is for 15 – 30 minutes depending on number of people in your booking. It takes roughly 4 – 6 minutes per person.

Is there a minimum age?
Yes, I do not photograph children under 6 years of age. If parents choose to bring younger children a result cannot be guaranteed and a refund will not be provided. Iris photography requires that the subjects head and eye be totally still for at least 5 to 10 seconds. In addition they will need to sit very still in the head rest for a couple of minutes whilst the equipment is adjusted to their head size. Parents are solely responsible for deciding whether their child is suitable.

Can I bring friends/family?
Absolutely! We offer duo and group packages so you can capture multiple irises together.

How do I receive my photo?
Digital images are sent via email within 5 working days. Printed options are available.
