Okay, so, I’ve been seeing this “aura” thing popping up all over my feed lately. You know, those pictures with the funky colors around people? Yeah, that’s the one. I got curious and decided to dig in and figure out what the deal is with this trend and, most importantly, who started it.
First off, I found that the whole aura concept isn’t exactly new. Apparently, the idea of these colorful vibes around people has been around for ages, showing up in different cultures and spiritual stuff. But that didn’t tell me who brought it into the mainstream recently.
Then I learned that Gen Z and Boomers, according to Pinterest of all places, are really into these bright, colorful looks. They say, “Find your aura, wear it with confidence.” That’s kinda cool, but still, no names. Who actually started this whole thing?
So, I kept digging. I found out that there’s this thing called “aura photography.” It’s basically a way to take a picture of someone and show these colors around them that supposedly represent their aura. Now we’re getting somewhere!
My search led me to this one name that kept popping up: Christina Lonsdale. People are calling her the “queen of contemporary aura photography.” Bingo! It looks like she’s the one who really made this a big deal. Or at least that is what the internet is saying.
I also stumbled upon the whole “aura” trend on TikTok. It’s a mix of people showing off their creative sides, making these cool edits with colors, and even taking quizzes to find their aura color. It’s a whole thing, but it’s clear that Christina Lonsdale’s work with aura photography played a big part in making it popular.

So, to sum it up, while the idea of auras has been around forever, it seems like Christina Lonsdale is the one who brought it back into the spotlight with her aura photography. Now, the trend’s everywhere, especially on TikTok, where people are using it to express themselves in all sorts of colorful ways.
