The image of a source around a black hole is replicated an infinite number of times by photons performing an arbitrary number of turns around the black hole. Such relativistic images generate a characteristic staircase structure in the complex visibility measured in interferometric observations. For a quasi-static source, we present analytical formulae describing the visibility function in the strong deflection limit of gravitational lensing. These formulae are then used to extract the properties of the metric from features in the visibility.
