Theme: Photographic interpretations of tarot archetypes using analog film

Medium: photography

The Amber Tarot is a 78-card photographic tarot deck created by the Life Spirit Team, utilizing classic silver film technology without digital retouching. Each card features staged scenes with models and props, set against natural backdrops.

About This Deck

The Amber Tarot, also known as the Life Spirit Deck, is a 78-card photographic tarot deck that distinguishes itself by its commitment to analog film photography. Created by the Life Spirit Team, the deck was captured using classic silver film technology, with a strict policy against digital retouching. This approach aims to preserve the authentic, raw quality of traditional photography, offering a unique aesthetic in the contemporary tarot landscape.

The deck's imagery features models in various costumes, posed within natural settings or against constructed backdrops, embodying the archetypes of the Major and Minor Arcana. The campaign emphasizes the collaborative effort behind the deck, involving a professional film photographer, a certified tarologist, an art director, and a designer. This multidisciplinary team sought to blend esoteric knowledge with artistic expression, creating a deck that is both visually striking and spiritually resonant.

Printed on 400 gsm paper with a smooth varnish from Italy, the deck is housed in a 2/3 lid box with silk-feel lamination, and includes a mini guidebook. The physical quality and the unique photographic process underscore the team's dedication to producing a high-quality, collectible item. The Amber Tarot aims to provide a tool for self-discovery and spiritual guidance, rooted in both traditional tarot symbolism and the evocative power of film photography.
