With two distinct photo zones, Aura is perfect for a wide range of photography needs, from family and couple portraits to branding sessions, wedding photography, and editorial shoots.

Loved by photographers of all genres, Aura adds a touch of elegance to every image, making it a favorite for capturing moments with style and grace.

Golden Elegance

This holiday season, Aura will glow with the warmth of gold, enhancing its inherent Parisian charm. Every corner of the room will shimmer with delicate shades of white and gold pearls, creating a serene yet luxurious atmosphere that invites you to linger.

The grand Christmas tree, dressed in opulent gold ornaments, will stand as a beacon of festive cheer, casting a gentle glow that dances across the room. The mantle, adorned with golden accents, and our plush Mario Bellini sofa will complete this enchanting scene, offering the perfect setting for capturing moments that feel both intimate and grand.

The other side of the room will remain non-holiday, offering a versatile space for all your creative visions.
