You can purchase the digital images separately.

For your artwork, we provide a proof (by email) for you to approve before we send it for printing. Mainly to confirm that it’s the same design as what has been decided during your iris session including small changes not for changing your mind about your order.

Additional changes or a complete change (for example, you want us to change the position of the iris from what you original decided or change the editing style, etc) would be charge at £40/hour. Please note that any revision will affect the timescale for you to receive your products. If it take you longer than 8 working days to approve your artwork, we will assume that you are happy with it and we will process the order.

We recommend that only children of 5 years old can attend and Iris shoot. However, as our system is safe for children, photography before the age of 5 is possible if the child manages to stay still and stare at the camera. We are not responsible if a child doesn’t comply and cannot offer any refunds if we are unable to produce an iris image for that type of situation.
Prices for our products and services are subject to changes without notice.
