"Iris Galerie" what is it?

I was adding a POI with the name “Iris Galerie” and I had some difficulty deciding what to tag it as. I tagged “mine” as shop=art but I am not so sure that is correct.
I found a related website (https://irisgalerie.com/) which has the POI I added on it.

So I looked up if other locations where already added.
Using TagInfo I found 62 POIs with some form of the name Iris Galerie (Overpass). For 56 of those I was able to match them to a location on the Iris Galerie website’s location finder or they had a link to the Iris Galerie website.

What they do, according to their website:

Taking a picture of one or more irises and printing them on several materials or as a free standing acrylic block.

How they were tagged:

  • shop=art (17x) - A shop that primarily sells works of art, such as paintings or sculptures. Tag:shop=art
    (Does this qualify as art? They themselves are calling it art on the website :slightly_smiling_face:)

  • shop=photo (12x) - A photo shop deals with photos or video in any way. Tag:shop=photo

  • craft=photographer (12x) - Workplace or office of a photographer. Tag:craft=photographer
    (Does not feel correct to me, it does not fit the image I have when seeing this tag)

  • shop=gift (4x) - Selling gifts, and/or greeting cards. Tag:shop=gift
    (Does not fit my image of a gift shop.)

  • tourism=gallery (3x) - An area or typically a building that displays a variety of visual art exhibitions. Tag:tourism=gallery
    (Not correct I think, these places are “producing” and selling, not just displaying.)

  • shop=yes (2x) - It is recommended when possible to avoid this tag in favor of a more specific shop=* value. Tag:shop=yes

  • shop=camera(1x) - A shop that focuses on selling photography equipment… Tag:shop=camera
    (Wrong? No equipment sold. Tagged by: @DabMK)

  • shop=eye_picture (1x) - 1 use in total, not documented on the wiki (ATYL?)
    (Tagged by: @JLZIMMERMANN)

  • shop=photo_studio (1x) - A place where a photographer can minutely control lighting conditions for the purposes of taking photographic pictures. Tag:shop=photo_studio
    (Tagged by: @Martin Constantino–Bodin)

  • craft=photo_studio (1x) - 184 uses in total, not documented on the wiki.
    (Tagged by: @Keith Barnett)

  • craft=yes (1x) - about 4700 uses in total, not documented on the wiki.
    (Too broad for me. Tagged by: @Turb)

  • office=company (1x) - Used for the office of a private company which does not fit into another more specific category. Tag:office=company
    (This location is on the site as a “galerie” so I think office is wrong. Tagged by: @Anaximandre)

I seen shop=gift used for places selling various gadgets/thingamajig/gizmos. Not entirely correct, but used it myself few times as it was superior to shop=yes

Of tags mentioned shop=art and shop=gift seems most fitting.

craft=photographer shop=photo are not entirely wrong either but less fitting.

tourism=gallery and shop=gallery and office=company are just wrong

shop=yes and craft=yes are unspecific, shop=photo_studio is more misleading than helpful (you cannot take normal photos there)

shop=eye_picture is so extremely specific that it may as well be shop=yes
