What you take home

📸

Your portrait, on film

A one-of-one aura portrait shot on Instax Wide — your colors developed in your hands, minutes after the flash. No two are alike.

📖

Written interpretation guide

What each color means and how its position — heart, throat, above the head, left or right — changes the reading.

✨

The aura interpreter

Keep decoding after you leave — chat with our online interpreter about your colors, anytime.

Five minutes, start to finish

1

Rest your hands on the sensors. The camera reads the same family of signals a lie-detector test measures — tiny shifts in your skin's electrical activity.

2

Hold still for the exposure. Up to fifteen seconds while your energy is translated into color over your portrait — live, on analog film.

3

Watch it develop. Your colors appear in minutes. Decode them with your written guide and the online interpreter.

Aura photography, Jeddah

Jeddah's creative scene has opened up quickly — galleries and concept stores around Al Balad and Tahlia, wellness studios running breathwork and sound sessions, crystal and incense counters tucked into design shops. It's a young audience with an appetite for things that feel personal rather than mass-produced.

An aura portrait is exactly that: biofeedback sensors under your hands, an analog camera, and your energy exposed as color over your portrait on Instax Wide film. Five minutes, one print that exists only once, and a written guide in plain language. When Jeddah dates are announced, the waitlist gets first pick of slots.

"So true 100%" — shared by @happywellbeing_, a returning guest

"You've moved from an inward, cocooned state of stillness and reflection to a more awakened, expressive, and outwardly directed energy — while still maintaining core emotional calm."

Good to know

I don't know anything about auras — is this for me?
Especially for you. Nothing is expected of you: you sit, rest your hands on the sensors, and five minutes later you're holding your print. Every portrait comes with a written guide in plain language, so you can read what your colors mean without knowing a thing beforehand — and the online aura interpreter answers questions afterwards at your own pace.
Do I have to believe in it?
No. Plenty of guests come purely curious, or because a friend dragged them, and leave with a portrait they love regardless. Take the interpretation as seriously or as lightly as you like — the print is yours either way.
How does the aura camera work?
Biofeedback sensors under your hands read the same family of signals a lie-detector test measures — tiny shifts in the skin's electrical activity — and translate them into color, exposed over your portrait on instant film. Non-invasive, nothing emitted, completely safe.
How long is a session?
Quick — the portrait itself is a single exposure of up to fifteen seconds, and most guests are in and out within about five minutes.
What happens in a session?
Same curiosity, different starting point: instead of a deck, the sensors read your body and the camera prints what it finds. You leave holding a physical portrait plus a written interpretation — and the online aura interpreter can talk it through in Arabic or English.
What should I wear?
Solid dark tops photograph best. Remove large or heavily reflective accessories before your slot, including smart rings and fitness trackers.
Can two people be in one portrait?
Yes — the couple's package includes two individual portraits plus one combined-aura duo portrait, reading the shared field between you.
When is aura obscura coming to Jeddah?
Tour stops are announced a few weeks ahead, and the waitlist hears first. Join the Jeddah waitlist to get first pick of slots.
