Iris Galerieis a photography-art franchise that transforms the iris of the eye into personalized artwork. The concept blends macro photography with fine-art printing, creating vivid pieces for homes and offices.
The brand was founded in 2021 in Paris by entrepreneur Emeric Wehbeh. Its global head office remains on Île Saint-Louis in the French capital, with a North American franchise office in Toronto.
Iris Galerie began franchising the same year it launched and has already expanded to more than 100 galleries across Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East, and on cruise ships. The franchise sells gallery-quality prints starting at about €49 and reaching premium formats up to 180 cm. Multiple finishes—paper, acrylic, aluminium—let customers match any décor.
Proprietary equipment, an immersive studio experience, and the emotional appeal of one-of-a-kind eye art set Iris Galerie apart from traditional photo studios and décor retailers.

Iris Galerie provides a comprehensive training program to prepare its franchisees for successful operation. This support is structured into several core elements designed to equip owners and their team with the knowledge and tools necessary for running the business.
Initial Training Program: The franchisor delivers a proprietary initial training program to the Principal Owner and up to three additional people. This training is provided prior to the opening of the business and includes detailed operational instruction.
Manual Access and Operations Guidance: Franchisees are granted access to confidential operations manuals. These contain critical procedures and standards for running the franchise in line with Iris Galerie’s system.
Ongoing Support and Guidance: For the first three months after opening, franchisees receive dedicated support services. Following this period, they are entitled to five hours of monthly support.
Territory Protection
Iris Galerie offers a designated territory to its franchisees, referred to as the “Designated Territory,” which is outlined in the Franchise Agreement. This territory determines where the franchisee is allowed to operate their business and typically restricts the placement of other franchise units nearby.
However, Iris Galerie does not guarantee exclusivity or protection from other forms of brand presence. The franchisor retains full discretion over advertising and marketing initiatives, which may or may not be focused on the franchisee's Designated Territory.
Franchisees are expected to contribute to national and local advertising funds, but the franchisor is not required to allocate spending in proportion to contributions or within any specific territory.
