How To Photograph And Send Photos Of Your Irises
Please send one photo of each iris. Only send 2 of each iris at maximum and please send them together in one email!
For your iris photos, you will need a friend to help you.
- Take photos in a room with no lighting sources or windows. If you don’t have a dark space, you can create one by placing a blanket or sheet over both of your heads to cancel out any lighting or reflections so it creates a mini dark room.
- Have your friend hold a smartphone camera in one hand and a flashlight in the other hand. (Do not use the front facing camera of your phone as it will not be good enough quality compared to the primary backside camera.)
- Have your friend hold the phone camera close to and directly in front of your eye. The flashlight will need to illuminate from the side at a 45 degree angle so that the iris is completely lit up. Stare directly into the camera and hold your eye wide open. Use your own hands to open your eyes so the whole iris is visible if needed. If any part of the iris is cut off, you will need to retake and resend the photos so that we can access all information necessary for your report.
- Take one or two clear photos of each eye. Do not worry about any skin being visible and try get the iris photo as close as you can.
- Please do not zoom on your lens or edit the photos in any way before sending them. This degrades quality and creates pixilation.
- Please also email the photos to me at eyes@eyesonghealth.com for the best HD quality.
If there is no one to take a picture of your eyes, you may be able to still get some great photos on your own by following these instructions.
- Stand in front of a mirror with your smartphone and a flashlight.
- Using the back camera of your phone, point the camera at your eye. While in the mirror, look at the screen of the mobile phone and use it to adjust your camera so that you can position your whole eye on the screen enough to get a good picture.
- Don’t use the front camera (Selfie) of your mobile phone.
- If your camera has options and modes, try to choose the “macro” mode.
- Remember to shine the light of the flashlight from the side of the eye so that the entire area of the iris is visible. If you have no flashlight, you can try using the flash of your camera during picture taking. (Please try to use a flashlight for best quality though)
- Open your eyes fully so the whites of the eye (Sclera) also appears clearly in the image. Do your best to not have reflections of any objects or lights so that we may see as much of the iris as possible.
