the utah iris photographer experience

 

The studio

Welcome to the utah iris photographer studio


Located in the heart of Layton, Utah, just 20–25 minutes north of Salt Lake City, Utah Iris Photographer is a dedicated retail iris photography studio built around one thing: creating an incredible experience from the moment you walk through the door to the moment you receive your finished artwork.

Whether you're visiting on your own, as a couple or bringing the whole family, the studio is designed to feel relaxed, welcoming and fun while giving your irises the attention they deserve.

A Quick, Easy & Comfortable Experience
You don't need to prepare for a traditional photo session. No posing, no worrying about what to wear and no need to be comfortable in front of a camera.
I'll guide you through the process as each iris is photographed up close using specialized macro photography and lighting. The process is quick, comfortable and non-invasive, capturing details within your eyes that are nearly impossible to appreciate with the naked eye.

Once your session is complete, the real work begins. Each iris is carefully processed and professionally edited to bring out its incredible natural colors, textures and details. Your finished images and artwork are then prepared for your personal gallery and delivered for you to experience and enjoy.

Little Extras That Make the Experience Special
I want visiting the studio to be something the whole family enjoys.
You'll find a mini fridge stocked with complimentary bottled water to enjoy during your visit, and younger guests have something especially fun waiting for them.

After having their iris photographed, kids get to visit the studio toy chest and choose a 3D-printed toy to take home!

It's a small tradition that has become one of my favorite parts of the studio experience. The kids get something exciting to look forward to, and parents get a little extra help making iris photography feel like an adventure rather than another photo appointment.

Experience You Can Trust
Utah Iris Photographer was created from more than 25 years of professional photography experience and years dedicated specifically to mastering the unique challenges of iris photography.

After photographing nearly 1,000 irises, I've had the opportunity to work with an incredible variety of eye colors, patterns and characteristics, continually refining both the photography and editing process along the way.

That experience has grown beyond my own studio. My knowledge, techniques, tools and resources have become sought after by fellow iris photographers around the world, giving me the opportunity to help others elevate their own iris photography and artwork.

For my clients here in Utah, that means you're choosing a photographer who doesn't simply offer iris photography as another type of session. This is my specialty.

From Your Eye to Finished Art

Your session is only the beginning.

After your irises are photographed, I carefully edit each image before transforming it into your finished artwork. You can keep things beautifully simple and let the natural iris speak for itself, combine irises with someone you love, or choose from an expansive collection of artistic designs created specifically to showcase your eyes.

The result isn't something pulled off a shelf.

It begins with you, because no one else has your eyes.

Come Experience It for Yourself

Your eyes have been with you your entire life. Come visit the studio and discover the incredible details that have been hiding in plain sight.

I saw some of the big time iris photography franchise companies in Europe had an interactive iris viewer, so I decided to create my own to offer a similar experience for people at my studio. Get an up close sneak peek in my Iris Viewer 2.0 to pick up on the subtle differences and see which eye speaks to you most. The magnifying mirror and the led lights help you get a closer detailed look of your irises vs a standard viewing mirror and it's been a fun addition to the studio and to bring to vendor events.

Two human irises with blue-green eyes surrounded by dramatic water splashes on a black background.

Such an incredible experience! I actually flew from California to Utah to have my eyes photographed by Dustin from Utah Iris photographer, and he completely exceeded my expectations with the images he captured. I loved what he wrote in his bio…”the eyes are the windows to the soul”, such a beautiful sentiment, I will cherish these pictures and be so happy to share them with my son. Thank you Dustin, you are an amazing and very detail oriented artist!
