Frequently Asked Questions
How does aura photography work?
Aura photo is a modern biofeedback technology that captures your dynamic energetic state. During a session, you place your hands on sensors that measure physiological data including temperature, galvanic skin response, and electrical conductivity. This data is then translated by a sophisticated algorithm into vibrant color that appear around your portrait, creating your "aura photo".
Unlike traditional photography, aura photography captures the invisible energy, revealing colors that reflect your current energetic landscape.

What do the colours in my aura mean?
The colours in your aura provide insights into your current energetic state. While there are general associations with different colours, the true meaning is highly individualized and context-dependent. The same colour can signify different things depending on its shade, intensity, placement, and how it interacts with other colours present.
This is why we emphasize in-depth, personalized readings rather than generic colour charts. During your session, we interpret what your specific colours are communicating about where you are right now. The reading is a key part of the experience and provides meaningful insights you can take with you.
Will my aura change over time?
Your aura is dynamic and reflects your current energetic state in the moment the photograph is taken. Many clients return for sessions periodically and are often surprised by how different their aura appears from one visit to the next.
These shifts are natural and part of being human. We find that tracking changes over time can provide interesting insights, which is why some clients make aura photography sessions a regular practice - whether monthly, seasonally, or whenever they feel drawn to check in with their energy.
What should I wear to aura session?
We recommend wearing colours that make you feel comfortable. Your aura will appear regardless of what you're wearing.
Solid colours tend to photograph best and allow your aura colours to really stand out in the portrait.
A tip: We suggest avoiding white or very light colours as they wash out the aura colours in your photograph.
Highly recommend Black and Darker colour - create better contrast and let the vibrant aura hues shine through more clearly in the final image.
Studio Session
