Who we are

Your eye is a universe — we help you see it.

At Iris Photography AU, this isn’t just a job — it’s a passion. We’re a small, independently run in Sydney, Australia, where every session is personal, thoughtful, and rooted in a genuine love for art and human connection.

What we do is simple, but powerful: we capture the intricate beauty of your iris — the colours, patterns, and textures that make it completely yours — and turn it into a work of art. Using specialised macro photography and gentle editing, we reveal the stunning details of your eye and preserve them in a way you’ve never seen before.

This journey started in New Zealand, where we first fell in love with the process of helping people see themselves through a new lens — sometimes quite literally. Now based in Sydney, we’re bringing that same personal experience to locals and travellers alike.

Whether you come alone, with a partner, or with your whole family, we create artwork that feels meaningful — a keepsake that reflects who you are. You can choose from simple single-eye prints, artistic “collision” pieces for couples, family collages, or digital files to share and frame at home. We’re here to help you choose what fits best.

Every iris is a universe. It’s an honour to show you yours.

Why Sydney?

Because this city is full of life, colour, and diversity — just like the eyes we photograph. From the surf at Bondi to the sails of the Opera House, Sydney is a place where natural beauty meets creativity. It’s the perfect home for our newest studio.

Step inside, take a seat, and in just minutes you’ll see your iris transformed into art. We promise: you’ve never seen yourself like this before..

“I always knew my pupils were shaped differently, but because my iris appears so dark in person and because I've had bad vision my entire life, I could never really see them.

44 years old, and I now get to see them for myself. Such a unique and personal image to possess, this will be going on display in my home.

Thank you!”
