Welcome to Lightbody Portraits
At Lightbody Portraits, we believe that every person carries a unique energy signature—a vibrant reflection of their emotions, experiences, and inner world. Through the powerful Aura Camera 6000, we capture that energy in a stunning 4×3 polaroid portrait that serves as both a keepsake and a conversation with yourself.
Founded by William Ashabranner, Lightbody Portraits was created to help people explore their energy in a fun, meaningful, and visually beautiful way. Whether you're seeking personal insight, looking for a unique experience with friends, or planning an unforgettable event, our goal is simple: to help you see yourself in a new light.
More Than a Photograph
What is an aura photograph?
An aura portrait is more than just a photo.
Developed by Guy Coggins in the 1970’s, an aura photograph is created by attaching an instant film camera to two electrode hand plates containing physiological sensors. Through the meridian points in a person’s hands, these plates sense the vibrational frequency they radiate. That frequency is then matched to a corresponding color through an algorithm in the camera. The image produced is a double exposure of the subject and the colored electricity of their body.
Each session combines advanced biofeedback technology with aura imaging to create a personalized portrait that reflects your energetic state in the moment. Along with your photograph, you'll receive an interpretation of your aura colors and what they may reveal about your personality, emotions, strengths, and current life journey.
No two portraits are ever exactly alike—because no two people are.
