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
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.
Hold still for the exposure. Up to fifteen seconds while your energy is translated into color over your portrait — live, on analog film.
Watch it develop. Your colors appear in minutes. Decode them with your written guide and the online interpreter.

Aura photography, Tokyo
Tokyo never let analog go — film cameras, purikura, listening bars, print photography that survived every digital wave. An aura portrait belongs here: a long exposure on Instax Wide (Fujifilm's own format), with biofeedback sensors translating your energy into color over your portrait, live on the film. One print, no copies.
Bring a date, bring your mother, or come alone between Shimokitazawa record crates and a Daikanyama coffee — the sitting takes five minutes and the print develops in your hands in three more. When Tokyo dates are announced, the waitlist books first.
Fresh from the tour
Thousands of portraits across Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong, KL, Jakarta, Manila & Cebu — follow the tour on Instagram.
