Iris Photography: A New FMX Experience to Offer Your Clients

The experience

👁️ No two irises look the same.

Iris photography captures a guest's eye in macro detail: the colors, rings and fibers that make it theirs alone. Most people have never seen their own eye this close, so the reveal is a real moment at the station.

The guest rests their chin, you take one shot, and FMX sends it to AI Modify. Moments later they get a print or a digital copy of their iris as art.

Powered by AI Modify

✨ The guest's real iris stays the base.

AI Modify works on the photo taken at the booth and applies changes on top of it, guided by your prompt. That matters here: guests want to see their own eye, not an AI guess. The prompt keeps the iris colors and pattern and builds the look around them.

It also handles the hardest part of iris photography. Professional iris studios use special lighting and blend several shots to get rid of the light reflections on the eye. Here, AI Modify removes the reflections and sharpens the detail, so every iris comes out clear while still looking like the guest's real eye.

Add a Selection screen with four looks, each feeding its own prompt, so every guest picks their style. Or set one look for the whole event.
