To take the best photos for your reading, set your camera to MACRO and try, if possible, to use natural, daytime indoor light with a flash. Set the size of the photo for a higher resolution. 1024 × 768 or similar is best.
When taking photos of the iris, please be sure that:
- The entire iris is visible;
- There is no glare present from lights or camera flash;
- No “red eye” is present.
The glare on this iris makes some areas unreadable
In this photo, the top and bottom of the iris is covered
Please take a photo of each eye separately. Try to reduce any glare showing on the iris. Glare in the pupil (the black dot in the center of the iris) is ok. The above two examples are not acceptable for iris analysis.
When taking your photographs, check to see that the entire color portion of the eye is visible, especially the top and bottom. If you tend to have ‘droopy’ eyes, just gently pull the skin away from the eye using your thumb and forefinger.
Acceptable photo using 'gentle tug' to view entire iris
Perfect photo - note flash inside pupil and full iris visible
