WTF IS AURA PHOTOGRAPHY?

an aura is the subtle energetic field surrounding you.

different traditions describe it differently. some see it as an energetic field, some as an expression of emotional or spiritual state, and some as a symbolic language for what's happening beneath the surface.

I don't think we need to settle that question before we get curious.

whaaaat - aura photography has been around since the late 1800s?!

yup.

the technology evolved over the decades, and aura photography became a recognizable offering in the 1970s.

it's still relatively niche, and you'll find it most commonly in the US.

++ I'm freakin' thrilled to bring it to Portugal.

the camera uses biofeedback readers to collect information from your body.

that data is processed through a proprietary algorithm and translated into a visual representation of your energetic field.

the result is your aura portrait.

mmm .. this is where things get interesting.

the technology translates the data it collects into color.

the color becomes the vehicle for the reading.

I interpret the colors + show you what's showing up.

then we excavate what it could mean for you.

colors hold their own language.
I help translate it.

++ we let the colors guide whatever comes next.

a snapshot.

your energetic field right now.

the colors, their placement, their opacity, their expression - together they create a picture of what's active in your field in that moment.

what you do with that information is entirely up to you.

some people want to go deeper and work with their energy.

some people want a beautiful little portrait to put on the fridge and post to their Instagram story.

both are valid + welcome in my booth.

yep. constantly.

energy is always moving.

some people like to come back every few months and see what's shifted.

think of it as a little check-in.

a kind of spiritual hygiene.

lol. no.

I don't claim to see the future.

I tell you what's showing up.

There are scientific and technological components to how the system collects and processes biofeedback data.

The interpretation of the colors is not a scientific diagnosis or measurement.

It's an interpretive practice.

And that's an important distinction.

totally cool bb.

seriously.

you don't have to arrive believing anything.

you can be curious.

you can question it.

you can think the picture is beautiful and still not know what you think about the rest.

I'm okay with all of it.

whatever you want.

I'll reflect back the picture your colors and energy are painting.

you might recognize something immediately.

you might sit with it for a while.

you might want to explore your colors more deeply and learn how to work with them.

or you might put the portrait on your desk and simply enjoy having a delicious little mirror of your own energy nearby.

it can be deep.

it doesn't have to be.
