About Us – Iris Photography NZ

At Iris Photography New Zealand, we don’t just take photos—we transform your eye into a work of art. Based in Queenstown, the adventure and art capital of New Zealand, we specialize in macro iris photography, capturing the vivid colors and intricate patterns of your iris with stunning clarity. Each image is professionally edited and available as a custom-framed print, digital art file, or personalized gift.


Whether you're a tourist seeking a truly unique Queenstown souvenir, a couple commemorating a romantic getaway, or a family looking for a meaningful and fun experience, our high-resolution iris portraits offer a one-of-a-kind memory to take home. It's the perfect activity to pair with other Queenstown attractions for families and couples, like the Skyline Gondola, Kiwi Park, or a lakeside picnic.

Unlike many generic iris photo services, Iris Photography New Zealand is dedicated to delivering exceptional quality and artistic precision. With years of expertise in high-end macro photography, we've engineered a custom-built iris photography setup to capture the sharpest detail, most accurate color, and richest texture in every image. 


Our unique process combines professional-grade imaging, meticulous editing, and artistic framing to ensure each portrait is more than a photo—it's a stunning, gallery-quality iris artwork. Ideal for art lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking a premium iris photography experience in Queenstown.

Getting your iris photographed in Queenstown is quick, easy, and unforgettable. Our iris photography sessions take just a few minutes, and you’ll get to see the stunning, high-resolution detail of your eye instantly. We operate throughout Queenstown’s main tourist areas, including pop-ups near popular attractions, markets, and lakeside spots.


Prefer privacy? We also offer mobile iris photography—perfect for families, couples, or small groups who want a more personal experience. We bring the full setup to your location, so you can enjoy a custom iris portrait from the comfort of your home, hotel, or holiday rental. It’s a unique and convenient way to create personalized art during your Queenstown stay.

Queenstown is a destination like no other—a place of breathtaking scenery, thrilling adventures, and unforgettable moments. Whether you're skydiving over the Remarkables, cruising Lake Wakatipu, or simply soaking in the view, your visit deserves a souvenir as unique as the experience itself. At Iris Photography NZ, we offer more than just photos—we create high-quality macro portraits of your iris, transformed into stunning, custom art prints.


It’s a personalized Queenstown keepsake that captures not just how you look, but who you are. Just as Queenstown leaves a lasting impression on every traveler, your iris art will become a beautiful reminder of your time here—intimate, artistic, and truly one-of-a-kind.
