Iris Photography System
The first iris photography system was developed during Fiona’s final year of study at the Dorothy Hall College of Herbal Medicine in 1991. The system was put straight into use in Fiona’s clinical practice that year with great success. Within a year or two, Dorothy Hall invited Fiona to photograph irises for her yearly intake of college students. In response to demand from students and graduates throughout Australia, Fiona and Ron went on to develop and launch an up-graded and affordable Iris Photography system … The Graduate – Mach II.
Original platforms housed a 35 mm Film SLR camera and associated equipment and produced consistent, reliable, exceptional quality photographs, under all circumstances.
The Digital Revolution …

In the late 1990’s, as demand for on-the-spot photography increased … and with major technological advances in digital photography, research was undertaken with the aim of introducing a digital iris camera range. It soon became evident that the digital compact camera range would be unsuitable for iris photography. Instead, a digital SLR camera would be the most effective camera for iris photographs.
At that time, Digital SLR camera’s were available that could produce good quality photographs, similar to that achieved with the film SLR camera, but the cost of the camera alone was around $6000, making a quality digital system out of reach for most natural health practitioners.
The Latest …
In late 2003 Canon released their Digital SLR camera for under $2000. This made it possible for Fiona and Ron to design and supply a state of the art Digital SLR Iris Photography System, equaling the level of quality produced by their Film System.
While researching this major advance in digital technology, a re-design of the original platform was also undertaken, with the aim of streamlining and achieving a more modern, compact, lightweight and easily portable platform.
