Four ways to capture. One Iris standard.

Iris Booth, Iris Air, and Iris Flex are self-serve headshot studios — three sizes for three kinds of space. Iris Digital reaches everyone a booth can't. All four run on the same platform, apply the same editing, and deliver the same way.

The Iris standard

Every Iris carries the same four guarantees.

Picking an Iris is a decision about your space, your volume, and how far the program has to reach. Whichever one you land on, these four never change.

Real photographs

Every Iris product takes an actual photo of an actual person. Nothing is generated, so every headshot holds up for identity, badging, and credentialing.

Editing on autopilot

Lighting correction, retouching, cropping, and background replacement can be left to the individual, or set by your institution as an automated rule.

Delivered where you need it

The finished headshot lands in the subject's inbox in seconds. On the Professional Plan it also exports by API into HR, badging, directory, and credentialing systems.

One admin dashboard

Brand settings, permissions, approvals, and analytics live in one place — whether you run a single unit or a dozen across several sites and surfaces.

The lineup

Three self-serve studios, or our web app.

The three studios differ in size, weight, and how quickly they move. Iris Digital drops the hardware entirely so nobody gets left out of the program.

How to choose the right headshot program

Your program details shape your Iris deployment.

Where the headshots actually have to happen usually decides the products for you — and it is often more than one. Find the shape that looks like yours.

Corporate

HQ with satellite and remote offices

The head office earns its own booth. The regional offices and the people working from home never will — and they still need the same headshot.

What to deploy
Higher education

A main campus with regional campuses

Volume concentrates at the flagship campus. The satellite campuses need the same output without hardware sitting idle between intakes.

What to deploy
Healthcare

Badging before day one

New clinicians are credentialed and badged before their first shift, so the photo has to exist before they ever set foot in the building.

What to deploy
Single location

One permanent, high-traffic space

A career center, a hospital lobby, an HR floor. Always on, highest expectations in the building, and the quality bar is the whole point.

What to deploy
Space-constrained

Studio quality where a booth won't fit

You want the output, but you can't give up the footprint a full enclosure needs — or the landlord won't let you.

What to deploy
Events

Career fairs, activations, and pop-ups

Conference booths, recruiting events, and rooms you borrow for a single day. It has to arrive, set up, and be capturing within minutes.

What to deploy
Distributed

A workforce that never comes in

Remote employees, distance learners, contractors, and international hires. Nobody is walking past a booth, and the directory still has to be complete.

What to deploy
Institution-wide

One standard across everything

Every department, every campus, every employee — captured to the same spec, governed in one place, and delivered into the same systems.

What to deploy

Most institutions land on more than one. The hardware handles the people who come to you; Iris Digital covers everyone else — and both report into the same dashboard.

The platform

Built to handle any program,
from simple to sophisticated.

The hardware is what people see. The platform is what makes a headshot program run without anyone chasing photos.

Admin and governance

Set brand rules, permissions, and approval workflows once. Every unit and every capture surface follows them.

Security and privacy

Data is stored securely on US-based AWS infrastructure. Iris claims no rights to your photos or user data, and never sells or shares it.

Automatic editing

Define the output once — crop, background, retouching level — and every headshot comes back matching the spec, from any product.

Integrations and API

Route finished headshots straight into HR systems, badging, directories, and credentialing — sized, named, and formatted correctly.

How it works

Walk up. Three minutes. Professional headshot delivered.

The experience is identical across the family. Only the thing the subject walks up to changes.

A person stepping into an Iris booth
01

Walk up

No appointment and no photographer. The subject steps up to the unit, or opens the link you sent them.

Capture

On-screen prompts guide framing and posture. The subject takes several photos and picks their favourite on the spot.

Edit

Lighting correction, retouching, and background replacement run automatically against your rules, or are left to the subject.

Iris Booth is the premium enclosed studio for high-volume permanent locations and the best image quality in the family. Iris Air is the open, versatile studio for semi-permanent installations and multi-site rotation. Iris Flex is the most portable model, setting up in under five minutes for events and pop-ups. Iris Digital is browser-based capture for people who can't get to a Booth at all. All four run on the same Iris platform, apply the same automatic editing, and deliver through the same admin dashboard.
 

Iris Booth, Iris Air, and Iris Flex all use the same professional lighting and camera, so all three deliver studio-quality output. The enclosed Booth gives the most controlled environment, which makes it the best-in-family option for consistency. Iris Digital uses the subject's own device camera with on-screen guidance, so the result is excellent rather than studio-grade — it exists to reach the people hardware can't.

Yes, and most institutions do. A common setup is hardware on site for the people who come to you and Iris Digital for remote employees, students abroad, contractors, and satellite offices. Every product reports into the same admin dashboard, so it's one program regardless of how many capture surfaces you run.

Iris Booth, if the space and the quality bar justify it. The frosted privacy-glass enclosure creates a controlled, private capture environment, which matters for healthcare, executive, and identity-sensitive contexts. If a full booth footprint isn't practical, Iris Air delivers studio-quality output in an open format at roughly one-fifth the weight.

Iris Flex. It's the most portable model in the family at approximately 70 lb, ships in a wheeled travel case, and sets up in under five minutes — built for career fairs, conference activations, temporary installations, and fast rotation between sites.
 

No. Every Iris product is self-serve. The unit handles lighting, framing, and capture automatically, and the platform applies edits and delivers the final images without anyone on your team running a session.
 

No. Every Iris product captures a real photograph of a real person. Editing is applied to that photograph — lighting correction, retouching, background replacement — but the likeness is never generated. That distinction matters for identity, credentialing, and compliance contexts, where a synthetic image can't be verified or governed.
 

Iris uses a hardware plus software model. Hardware can be purchased or leased, and every deployment runs on one of two annual plans: the No-Hassle Plan, or the Professional Plan, which adds API access, SAML/SSO, approval workflows, and up to five Iris Studios. Iris Digital is priced per headshot with no hardware. Reduced pricing is available for schools, universities, and non-profits. See full pricing →
