The Snap Shot was born from a simple idea: to bring the magic of iris photography—something we first discovered on a trip to Hamburg—to families and individuals right here in Poole. We noticed that, while this incredible art form was popular abroad, it was hard to find in the UK. So, we set out to change that.
We’re a small, family-run business based in The Dolphin Shopping Centre, dedicated to creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind artworks using the natural colours and patterns of your iris. Whether you’re looking for a unique gift, a family keepsake, or a stunning piece of personal art, we make the process easy, friendly, and fun.
What makes us different?
Authenticity: We keep your iris colours true to life—no heavy editing, just your natural beauty.
Satisfaction Guarantee: You’ll see a free preview of your photo before you pay, and we only charge if you’re delighted with your artwork.
Personal Service: From your first enquiry to the moment you receive your finished piece, you’ll deal directly with our small, passionate team.
Local and Accessible: We’re one of the UK’s few iris photography providers, offering a more personal and affordable experience than the big brands.
We’d love to welcome you to our stall and show you just how special your iris can be.
