Amber Tarot Deck by Life Spirit Team, 78 Cards

Amber Tarot by Life Spirit Team: A Photographic Tarot Deck

Amber Tarot is a 78-card photographic tarot deck by the Life Spirit Team, built on Rider-Waite-Smith and shot entirely on analogue film with no Photoshop or AI.

What if the familiar world of the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot could step out of the pages of a book and become something tangible, atmospheric and wonderfully real?

Meet the Amber Tarot by Life Spirit Team (Anastasia Dyshlovenko, Denis Dyshlovenko, Sofia Karulina and Vladimir Kamchits), a truly unusual 78 card tarot deck that brings classic Tarot symbolism to life through analogue film photography, real people, authentic locations and carefully created costumes and scenery.

Rather than digitally illustrating the cards, the creators set out to physically recreate the world of Tarot. The result is a photographic tarot deck with an unmistakably cinematic quality. Every image was captured on colour film, without Photoshop, computer graphics or artificial intelligence.

A Living Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot

For anyone familiar with the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot, Amber Tarot offers an intriguing bridge between the symbolism you already know and an entirely different visual experience.

The 78 cards follow the classic Rider-Waite-Smith structure and symbolism, making the deck accessible to beginners learning Tarot while giving experienced Tarot readers plenty of visual detail to explore.

But these are not simply photographic reproductions of familiar Tarot scenes. The Life Spirit Team created an enormous production involving more than 100 people, 70 costumes and 92 photoshoots over three months. Real scenery, animals, historical style costumes, jewellery, props and specially constructed scenes were brought together to create the finished images.

The result is a Tarot deck that feels alive.

Real People. Real Places. Real Photography.

There is something wonderfully tactile about knowing that the characters appearing in the cards were real people, standing in real environments, photographed rather than digitally generated.

For Tarot readers who enjoy connecting with imagery through observation and intuition, this can open up an interesting way of working with the cards. Look beyond the familiar meaning and notice the expressions, gestures, surroundings, clothing, relationships and tiny details within each scene.

The Amber Tarot can therefore be used for traditional Tarot readings, daily card pulls, meditation, journaling, contemplation and intuitive exploration. For Tarot collectors, the deck itself is a fascinating piece of Tarot history and photographic artistry. For beginners, this is a deck that you can read intuitively, by checking the booklet or any Tarot guidebooks based on the R-W-S Tarot system.

Beautifully Produced

The Amber Tarot is printed in Italy on substantial 400 GSM card stock and finished with a smooth varnish. The deck comes in a silk feel laminated two thirds lid box, accompanied by a printed booklet containing card meanings. The production also uses ecological materials.

Whether you are beginning your Tarot journey or adding another deck to an established collection, Amber Tarot by Life Spirit Team offers something genuinely different: the familiar language of Rider-Waite Tarot, reimagined through the lens of analogue photography.

At The Guilded Veil, we love discovering independent and distinctive Tarot decks that have a story behind them and Amber Tarot certainly has a story to tell.
