Welcome To Optic Artistry
At Optic Artistry, I transform the iris into contemporary fine art. I capture each portrait with precision, then refine and finish it to gallery standards, revealing the extraordinary colour, depth, and detail hidden within the human eye.
Founded by creative photographer Dave Pinfield‑Wells, the studio blends advanced imaging technology with an artist’s eye for colour, form, and texture. This combination creates artwork that feels timeless, elegant, and deeply personal.
The studio was designed and built by photographers with over 40 years of combined experience across all areas of professional photography. This expertise shapes every part of your session.
I use the latest cameras, macro lenses, and precision lighting to achieve exceptional clarity in every shot. As a result, you enjoy outstanding detail with minimal discomfort and a calm, welcoming experience from start to finish.
Our studio is designed for complete comfort. The adjustable chin rest, table, and stool allow you to sit naturally, without crouching or stooping, and without placing your head inside a box. There are no harsh macro lights — just a calm, relaxed setup that makes the experience easy from the moment you sit down.
All of our artwork is printed and manufactured by award‑winning UK suppliers, ensuring exceptional quality and consistency in every piece.
We offer fully adaptable in‑studio sessions, with height‑adjustable equipment and an accessible layout. This means you can enjoy a comfortable, relaxed experience that suits your needs, whatever your height or mobility.
Once I’ve captured your iris, I can prepare a wide range of visual effects and create bespoke artwork in your chosen medium — from premium prints and glass acrylic to sleek aluminium finishes.
At Optic Artistry, I believe luxury is found in the details — in the experience, the craftsmanship, and the story behind every piece. Your eyes are one of a kind. Your artwork should be too.
