Chloe Raymond: Soulful Photographer
Meet Chloe, the photographer behind the breaktaking photos you see on Oracle Sisterhood. She possesses strong yet soft Aries energy that she channels through her stunning, ethereal photographs. Elevated and soulful, high fashion yet dreamy, powerful yet emotional, her work and style perfectly capture and embody the OS values of finding balance between the seen/masculine and the unseen/feminine. Technically sharp while evoking emotion, she expertly highlights the beauty and soul essence of her subject. Chloe has the gift of true sight and the ability to capture and translate the beauty she sees into the physical realm. Get to know the woman behind the visuals of OS a little bit better through our interview below.
What’s your sun, moon and rising sign?
It might not be accurate because I don’t know my exact time of birth, but I know it’s around 10pm. So, sun in Aries, moon in Virgo and ascendant sign Scorpio.
What lights up your soul?
Honestly, I think travelling would be the thing that lights up my soul. When I travel, I’m so connected and mindful, but also light and free.
Favourite self-love ritual?
My daily self-love ritual would be relaxing in my bathtub and my other self-love practice would be meditation which I have a hard time making into a daily routine.
Biggest shadow aspect you had to overcome/are overcoming?
Knowing my value as a woman was a big shadow for me to overcome. Someone was meant to be on my path to make me realize that I was worth more and that being in a saviour/victim relationship was far from healthy. To this day, I believe I’m still struggling with communicating my feelings and self-limitations to others by fear of disappointment.
Technology or app you can’t live without?
I would have to say Instagram because of my work. I need it for inspiration, promotion and it keeps me aware of what’s on the market/competition. I’m not very attached to my phone, so if I wasn’t in the creative industry I wouldn’t be on social media.
What’s one thing you want to learn this year?
Pole dancing haha it’s all because of you!
What makes you feel empowered?
Being in control in a creative session. For example, directing a team in a photoshoot by sharing my vision and helping people to elevate their image makes me feel empowered.
Something most people would be surprised to know about you?
I did my Yoga Teacher Training Certificate at an ashram in the Bahamas when I was 19, but never taught because I was lacking self-confidence. That’s another shadow I have to overcome .
Inspiring book or podcast recommendation?
Mindvalley podcast is a podcast that my mother shared with me, it’s mostly spiritual speakers, mindfulness and positive thinking.
If you were an Oracle who could only deliver one message to the world, what would it be?
Open your heart, free yourself from your ego and be enlightened (my mantra)
In other words: Be in a state of pure awareness that is free from the chattering mind, and constantly connect with the Infinite All-Loving All-Powerful Light from the Higher Source.
