A soul portrait is the photographic image that represents the energy within you, energy that is exchanged between you and the artist/photographer during a sitting or photographic session. The resulting images portray parts of your inner self that you do not often show to others, even those that closest to you.
Quite often the photographer creating such soul portraits uses a combination of motion blur and out of focus images adding crazy colors and passing this off as soul portrait photography. In my mind this is not soul portrait photography.
If your souls mission is to Find Authenticity within yourself – we will photograph you as your authentic self. If your souls mission is to Find Home within yourself – we photograph you in a triumphant state of discovering home. A Soul Portrait is a co-created, artistic expression of who your true self is.
A Soul Portrait story is the way we take your discoveries and share them with the world to empower others along the way.
Don’t know what your souls mission is?
Unsure of what your story is?
Maybe, you know the story you want to share and don’t know where to start.
If any of these statements resonate with you, then this is the experience for you.
Bruce provides a free consultation with every client to understand your soul mission also to help you with how we represent your story.
Bruce Smith is an intuitive empath that for years has been creating an open channel that reveals the true self story behind the eyes of his subjects.
We are all here for a reason, discovering this reason can be hard, opening yourself up and baring the inner you (your soul) helps to unblock what may have been holding you back.
Bruce’s Soul Portraits are an in-depth, personal, soul portrait photographic image to match the story written by you about you.
When people look at his portrait photographs they do not just see just the basics of the subject, they see beyond, the true or fantasy story of what happened before, during or after the shoot, the unwritten essence that can not be explained.
It has taken Bruce’s ç 40 years of creating his stories in pictures for his clients as well as his personal fine art photography to develop this skill to an instinctive level.
It is Bruce’s empathic openness that empowers you to reveal your soul’s purpose from within you and to present it in the form of an empowering story. The pictures created during this exchange of energy are a soul portrait to match your purpose.
Bruce’s clients come to him to help discover their souls purpose and have a photographic story written about them in order to see them selves in a different light.
In Bruce’s pictures of you created during your mindfulness soul portrait session the objective is to reveal what matches the true self story of what is in your soul.
The perfect gift for some one that you love and care about. Why not buy them a gift card to use towards the cost of a soul portrait session with Bruce, the portrait photographer on the Cote d‘Azur in France Europe. What a wonderful imaginative gift idea for your bride to be.
