PDX Aura-Snapping Photo Pop-Up Landing At Gastown’s “Nouvelle Nouvelle”

RadiantHuman-polaroid-1
Nouvelle Nouvelle in has a rad pop up happening next weekend: the cool as heck Gastown boutique has teamed up with a travelling aura photography outfit from Portland called Radiant Human to offer Vancouverites the chance to have their aura captured on film. For three days the shop will host a geodesic dome and those interested in having their picture taken can pop in to check out the process, talk to the photographers, and sit for a portrait.

Not sure what aura is all about? Radiant Human explains it like this: “We all have energy running through our bodies. This energy radiates beyond our skin creating an atmosphere or “aura,” otherwise called an electromagnetic field. The aura camera uses hand sensors to analyze this energy’s vibrational frequency. Through this camera, we are able to match your vibrational frequency to a corresponding color’s vibrational frequency, making your energy visible and easy to see in the form of an instant Polaroid picture.” Portraits are $25 a pop. No appointments are being taken, as this is a walk in’s only gig.
