How-To: IRIS Selfie - Earthly Nutrition

How-To: Iris Selfie

Materials

Smart phone with camera
Flashlight or pen light (if your camera does not have flash)

Instructions

Go to a room with a mirror that can be dark, like your bathroom.
Ensure that your flash is turned on.
Set your camera’s timer to 2 or 5 seconds to ensure that you get a stable image.
Remove glasses and/or contacts (if needed).
Be sure to dim the lights so there is not a direct light reflection into your iris.
Point the screen of your phone to the mirror so that you are looking at the lenses on the back of your phone.
Zoom in on your camera until the image looks similar to the example.
Focus on your iris (usually by tapping on your screen).
With your free hand, gently pull your eyelids open to avoid shadows on your iris.
Take the picture!
Repeat the steps above on your opposite eye.
Email your photos to [email protected].

Tips

Have fun!
Take several pictures if needed and pick the clearest image.
If you need to use a flashlight or pen light, hold the light at a slight angle on the outer corner of your eye. Adjust the light towards the front or side to achieve the best results.
Don’t forget to take pictures of both eyes!
