Designed around the photograph—not the interface.

Made for photographers who want more from the camera they always carry.

  • Live looks
  • HEIC + RAW
  • Private by default

More intention.
Less interface.

Iris stays fast when the moment is brief, then reveals direct photographic controls when you reach for them. No feed. No account. Nothing between you and the frame.

Everything essential.
Nothing extra.

01

Direct control

Shutter, ISO, focus, white balance, and exposure—without leaving the frame.

Live Iris Looks

See the final character of your photograph before you press the shutter.

03

Files with a future

Keep a finished HEIC for now or a flexible RAW file for what comes next.

the first frame.
