Colour Fields is the aura photography practice of contemporary artist Kate Mitchell.

Inspired by the magic of colour, Colour Fields creates one-of-a-kind portraits that offer a visual interpretation of the human energy field.

Using the AuraCam 6000, developed by Guy Coggins in the late 70’s, each portrait is created using biofeedback gathered through hand sensors and translated into a colourful field surrounding the sitter.

Printed instantly on Fuji Instax film, each portrait is accompanied by a short intuitive reading exploring the colours, their placement and the qualities traditionally associated with them.

With over 1,000 aura portraits taken, Kate brings extensive experience and deep intuition to each session. Her approach is thoughtful, welcoming and grounded in care and respect for each individual's experience.

There's something wonderfully curious about aura photography. Part popular culture, part spiritual exploration, it can be playful and profound all at once. For some, it's a colourful bit of fun; for others, an opportunity for reflection and a deeper connection with themselves.

Each portrait becomes a record of a particular moment, a reminder that we both shape and are shaped by the atmosphere around us.

Colour Fields can be experienced through individual sessions, events, festivals and private gatherings. Previous appearances include the Powerhouse Museum, Art Gallery of New South Wales and a media launch for Netflix.
