Eye do? Unique valentine’s gifts at Iris Galerie
Have you ever gazed into your partner’s eyes and wished you could capture that moment forever? At Iris Galerie Brighton, your wish comes true… Forget the usual Valentine’s Day gifts, this innovative gallery situated in the North Laine specialises in macro iris photography, turning the coloured part of the eye into striking, gallery-worthy artwork that is deeply personal and visually stunning.
It is said that the eyes are windows to the soul, and at Iris Galerie this premise is brought to life. Before you even step inside, a magnifying mirror outside the shop offers a preview of what’s to come, enlarging your iris ten times and hinting at the hidden detail within. Inside, state-of-the-art photographic technology magnifies your iris a hundred times, revealing intricate patterns, flecks of colour and textures that are entirely unique to each individual.
The process itself is calm, quick and painless. Rest your chin on said state-of-the-art machine (similar to an optician’s) and in just a few moments, your iris is captured in all its magnified glory and carefully optimised by the team. What emerges is a mesmerising, unique image with artistic flair. There are many styles to choose from to optimise the results, from framed prints to jewellery.
With Valentine’s Day approaching, Iris Galerie offers an especially meaningful experience for couples. Partners can each have their iris photographed individually and then artistically merged into a single composition. The result is a powerful visual symbol, making a Valentine’s gift that is thoughtful, contemporary and truly one of a kind. A far cry from the usual cards and flowers, offering instead, a lasting piece of art that tells a shared story.
After the shoot, you are ideally situated in the heart of the lanes where you and your significant other can visit one of the many bars and restaurants for a romantic meal to round off the experience. For those seeking a Valentine’s gift that shows ingenuity and longevity, this is the alternative you’ve been waiting for.
