What to Expect from Your Iris Art Experience

As you step into the studio nestled in Bucharest’s city center, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that’s more like an artist’s workspace than a typical photo booth. The process begins with photographing both of your eyes. This might seem simple, but especially for those who haven’t had their eyes professionally shot before, it’s surprisingly detailed. You’ll want to sit still and focus on staying relaxed for the camera, which is prepared to capture every color, line, and tiny detail that makes your iris unique.

Once the initial photos are taken, you’re invited to select which eye you’d like to turn into your piece of art. This is a nice touch, because not everyone realizes that both eyes can look very different. Many guests find this part fun—choosing the one that stands out most or feels most meaningful. The team then takes you through a series of high-resolution images, revealing all those subtle hues and intricate patterns that often go unnoticed.

The real magic begins when you choose how to style your iris. The studio offers various artistic effects, with at least one included in your package. Whether you prefer a natural, detailed shot or a more stylized, creative interpretation, the team guides you to pick what suits your taste. You might opt for a more abstract or vibrant look—a fun way to personalize your memory.

Once you’ve made your choices, the editing process kicks in. The team carefully prepares your final artwork, ensuring every detail is perfect. You can opt to receive your piece digitally, which is perfect for sharing online or saving on your device, or as a printed artwork, which can be a striking addition to your home decor. They even offer packaging for travel if you want to bring your art home safely, or international courier delivery for larger wall prints. Turnaround time for prints is approximately 13 business days—so plan accordingly if you’re on a tight schedule.

Is It Worth the Cost?

Pricing is not explicitly provided here, but considering all the in-house editing, personalized guidance, and handcrafted final products, many find it a fair exchange for a truly personal piece of art.

Who Would Love This?
