Who we are
Founded in November 2023, IRIS is a community of visual storytellers dedicated to capturing moments, crafting narratives, and expressing creativity through photography and videography.
What began as a photography club has grown into a vibrant creative society that celebrates still and moving images. Whether you're just starting out or already experienced, IRIS is a welcoming space to learn, explore, and grow your craft.
