Macro Iris/Eye Photography Masterclass

In this video, I’ll walk you through how to take an ultra-detailed macro photo of someone’s iris, step by step. You’ll see exactly what camera gear, lenses, and lighting I use to get those razor-sharp, close-up shots of the eye that reveal all the hidden textures and patterns. Once we’ve captured the shot, I’ll take you into the editing process where I create two unique and artistic edits: A yin-yang inspired composition made from two irises, symbolizing balance and duality. A cosmic-themed edit where the irises look like glowing planets floating amongst the stars—perfect for that surreal, dreamy aesthetic. Whether you're a macro photography enthusiast or just curious about creative eye photography, this tutorial covers everything you need to get started and take your work to the next level.
