Not at all. Iris is completely self-serve. Students can snap their photos on their own schedule without tying up staff resources.

Yes. We store images on secure AWS servers in the U.S. Iris does not claim any rights to the photos; ownership remains with students and the institution. No personal data is shared with third parties.

Definitely. You can customize the booth’s exterior, add digital branding elements inside, and even apply your university’s logo or color schemes to the final photos.

Yes. Our Iris Air model ensures that every campus can provide high-quality portrait photography that is accessible to all students.

Instantly. Iris processes images on the spot, and students can download them immediately via email or admin portal, so there’s no waiting for retouching.

Our admin dashboard provides real-time data on how many headshots are taken, when, and by whom—helping you quantify engagement and justify the investment to leadership.
