How do I cause red-eye in my photos?
I had no trouble causing red-eye in my old iPhone 4; but having issues with the 6s, even with [right & left] circular polarising filters over the flash and camera.
Red eye is the reflection from the retina in the back of the eye. It is caused by the angle reflecting the flash straight back, specifically caused by the flash being too near the lens axis. When the flash is mounted more distant from the lens, the angle is too great to be able to reflect straight back, so the lens does not see it reflected back.
The rough rule of thumb in photography about red eye has always been the flash head should be at least one inch from the lens for every foot of distance to the subject. This is one reason camera hot shoe flashes are built so tall, to increase that distance, to get the flash away from the lens axis.
Regular cameras can place the flash off camera, or can aim it up to bounce from the ceiling. I don't think there's much that be done for cell phones. It will of course help if the subject is not looking back directly at the camera.
