General Questions

What is iris photography?

Iris photography is a unique art form where we capture a high-resolution image of your eye and transform it into a personalised piece of art. Each iris is as unique as a fingerprint, making your artwork truly one-of-a-kind.

How is The Snap Shot different from other providers?

We focus on authenticity, maintaining your natural iris colours, and offer a free preview before you pay. Our process is personal, friendly, and satisfaction is guaranteed—only pay if you love your artwork. We’re a local, family-run business offering a more accessible and affordable service than larger brands.

Where are you located and when are you open?

You’ll find us on the ground floor of The Dolphin Shopping Centre, Poole. We’re open weekends from 10am to 5pm on Saturdays and 10am to 4pm Sundays.
