“Those girls in jail that get to be his students every week are so incredibly lucky. It’s life changing. He is life changing. It’s truly amazing to me. All I can do is say thank you Kenny for sharing who you are and for how you see the world, how you see each of us, and how comfortable you are about sharing your truth the way you do, so completely transparent and vulnerable it allows me to be that way more and more. It made it especially easy for me to be that way in front of your camera! Because of the way you are, it didn’t surprise me that it would be so much fun to have my photo taken.”

“This photography experience Kenny created for us was a team-building event, a great reminder of who we are each being every day as individuals, and what we’re each doing to work together as a team. To me, every part of the experience he provided brought us more alive and more together as a whole.”

“As a company, we spend so much time together as a team and as a family but we can lose track of who we are. So having Kenny create a Story Portrait for us was great because it was a reminder to us of our personal mission as individuals and as a company. ”

“Kenny’s in-depth caring for us, to want to learn about who each of us is and our true roles in the company and in our lives, the way he interviewed each of us beforehand to find out what we loved in life and what our personal, career and company dreams and goals were, helped us to feel how we were each a special ingredient of not only our company’s culture, but of all of life. ”

“Kenny is a very special human being. He is a natural teacher and healer, like an angel. It’s powerful - this gift he has from God. That he is able to see and reach into the heart of a person and see them with such clarity, then offer life-transforming solutions to them within minutes for the obstacles they’ve been facing for years. He does it with such amazing insight, compassion, love and generosity, and it’s given in such abundance. Really, I take notes when he talks, he is so gifted. I am very emotional about this because I wanted to thank him, but given how much he’s done for me, it’s so far beyond just a thank you. What he’s said to me has turned my life around 180-degrees. Nowhere have I ever seen or heard or read the kind of information and insights he provides. What he sees and how he explains it all so clearly, is life altering. All my life I’ve suffered, and I’ve never thought about the things that he’s now shown me, and so he’s changed my life forever. I can’t even tell you the impact he’s had on me. He saved me. And what’s most amazing is that he’s suffered so much himself, and yet he has such a deep capacity to give and give and give unconditionally and with such grace and loving care, and it makes him so special. Kenny can feel the worlds’ and each person’s suffering, but somehow can help people through it in ways they’ve never dreamed possible. He’s the most amazing teacher and person I’ve ever met, and I bet a lot of people have said that to him. I am so blessed to know Kenny, and I don’t even have the words to express my gratitude for how he’s given me a new way of seeing, and a new way of living.”

“Kenny’s remarkable photos of my dear Ruby just a week before she passed - are treasures. But it’s more than just great pictures. The spectacular and uplifting experience he created for us at such an emotionally difficult time is something I’ll carry in my heart forever.”

“Thank you Kenny for everything you put into the portrait for Eliant. It’s so amazing! ”

“If you want your company to have a photo portrait that’s totally unique and magnificent and is an inspiring and fun project inclusive of all your employees and executives being their genuine selves, this is the greatest way to do it. So do it!”

“Seeing Kenny’s work and hearing him share some of his life’s stories inspired me to take action in living my life on purpose and in a way that’s meaningful to me, like he does. He was like a wake-up call for me in the most positive and inspirational way.”

“Doing this Story Portrait was the first time our company has done a simultaneous group and individual set of photos, and it was such a laid-back vibe with Kenny that we all had a really good time. Working with Kenny in the way he talks and expresses himself, reminded us that we are each special in our own way and are real people who are part of an intimate family-team unit, not just independent colleagues who happen to work at the same company.”

“I was just blown away by the depth and symbolism of Kenny’s work and how he puts his heart and soul into it. ”

“I get to see it (the printed metal Story Portrait) on our office wall every day now, and it’s uplifting and makes me feel good about each of us as individuals and as a unit of the company. The whole thing has been a fantastic experience, and getting to see it every day keeps that awareness alive in me and I think in all of us here.”

“Kenny Mirman did an outstanding job creating a Story Portrait for Eliant. He was easy to work with and made it fun for us all. Kenny did an impeccable job of reading our people to express exactly what we were looking for. I would highly recommend Kenny to any company who wanted a professional piece of art expressing the teamwork and success of their organization.”

“Kenny Mirman has a great gift. If I had to put it into words, his gift is profound empathy and a mystical awareness. There are certain individuals in the world that are wired into the Universe, the source and the soul, and he is absolutely one of them. His wisdom, awareness and teachings are so deep and evolved that they appear from him spontaneously as if from an ancient Chassidic Rabbi, and as far as I’m concerned, I believe Kenny’s soul is the reincarnation of one of the great ones. He has the innate ability to resonate with individuals in a way that provides them a view of the beauty and truth that is already within them – but maybe had been lost from their life until now. It’s proven to be a life-changer for the many individuals he’s touched. As a teacher, the insight that he provides his students is big and transformational – such as when he helps his teenaged students incarcerated in jail to see life in ways they’ve never imagined. It is an honor to know him and to study with him. ”

“Kenny always impresses me because he’s such an inspirational and authentic free spirit and he’s so aware. It makes you feel special and alive just looking at his work. It’s so inspiring and magical. ”

“The journey Kenny provided us from beginning to end to create a Story Portrait of our company was an amazing experience, inspired us as individuals, and brought us together as a team. I highly recommend this to any company or organization.”

“It was really great getting to see and hear Kenny’s video presentation of his work, and witness the depth of his personal story and background as an artist. The work he’s doing teaching pregnant teenaged girls who are incarcerated behind bars, is amazing and inspiring, and it affected my life in a big positive way and added something truly special to the entire experience he provided our company.”

“Kenny is an extremely creative, inspiring and diverse person with a super positive attitude and is really fun to work with. He’s a true artist and a dedicated professional with an impressive work ethic and someone who puts his whole heart and soul into every single thing he does and creates.”

“I love the story behind the AURAgin company name, how it’s about the expression of the essence of a company or of an individual or a family or an organization…because having worked with Kenny on his Story Portrait for us, I now see how he captured the spirit and vibe of our company and each person in it. It’s especially cool because our company never had the opportunity to express ourselves like this, and to see the finished product now as an art piece on our wall makes it so inspiring.”

“The journey and the final product (Kenny provided) increased our company’s productivity, unity, and teamwork. ”

“Having my picture taken is not usually comfortable for me, but Kenny made it so fun and safe and even made me laugh.”

“My first thought was, how am I going to adjust my work schedule to do a half-day photo shoot? For me it was an odd thing for a company to go offline just for pictures. But then I discovered it was an amazing team-building experience and I really enjoyed it and am still seeing its benefits weeks later.”

“For me and a lot of people like me, taking photos in close quarters and under bright lights can make us uncomfortable. But Kenny made it so easy and backed it up with such skill and relaxed confidence that I immediately felt at ease and in great hands. It was so easy it became fun right away.”

“If you work with Kenny in a photo session and walk in with your guard up, he allows you to bring it down and feel safe and just be yourself within seconds. You’ll get to feel automatic comfort, because it’s what he brings. He’s super funny, too! I also love the fact he’s not afraid to direct people about make-up and hair and wardrobe without being offensive in any way; it’s always respectful and kindhearted and fun. ”

“The piece (Story Portrait) Kenny made was so cool, as we now get to see our company’s story and each of our relationships and what we do individually and as a team and how we feel for each other every day when we pass that AWESOME photo-collage he made of us now hanging on our wall.”

“Working with Kenny Mirman was definitely a positive experience for our team.”

“It was an absolute joy to work with Kenny doing these personal photos for the (Story Portrait) piece he was making for our company, and the anticipation of the final product made it even more exciting!”

“I appreciated the technology in the piece Kenny made for us because I’m the tech guy. ”

“The portrait he made for our company is not at all like those old formal corporate company photos we’ve all seen where everyone looks like they’re standing there like mannequins and the photo doesn’t say anything about them. Whereas Kenny’s photo for us expresses who we are, what we do, what we care about, what inspires us, how we feel about each other and ourselves and our work and our company. It’s so cool !”

“Most businesses are too busy making widgets to even consider pausing to have a piece of art made for themselves. But they might consider how this (Story Portrait) experience Kenny delivered our company helped us discover who we are, how each of us as individuals are an important part of the team, and what our true corporate identity is. ”

“The way Kenny designed the photo story portrait with the pictures he shot of us individually and at work with our teammates and interacting with our company’s products and services, including the way he sized and placed each of us in the final picture and what each of us was doing there to express ourselves, all had a beautiful meaning and story. ”

“The most amazing part of the experience was Kenny’s presentation of the history of his artworks that led up to the piece he created for our company. His work is filled with beautiful symbolism, and learning what it all meant was something I really appreciated because now I see it all in the photo portrait he made of us.”

“The finished piece (photographic Story Portrait) is a work of art, really. Every time I stop in the hallway (of our company’s headquarters) to study it, I discover another cool detail and part of the story of us I hadn’t seen or thought of before. It’s so uplifting I can’t help but smile looking at it.”

“The whole experience inspired me so much that all I can say now is, Thank you, Kenny!”
