Kirlian Photography
- 2. Semymon Davidovitch Kirlian Russian inventor and researcher In 1939, while repairing medical equipment used in d’Arsonval electrotherapy, Kirlian discovered that the electrical discharge between a vitrified electrode and particles of human skin changed color. Trying to discover the cause of this, he photographed the electric charge without the use of a conventional camera, that is, exposing the film directly to the current. This experiment led to the invention of a system of high-frequency electrical photography.
- 3. Corona discharge In electricity, a corona discharge is an electrical discharge brought on by the ionization of a fluid surrounding a conductor that is electrically energized. It is often seen as a bluish (or other color) glow in the air adjacent to pointed metal conductors carrying high voltages.

- 5. Introduction Kirlian photography is a collection of photographic techniques used to capture the phenomenon of electrical coronal discharges. Variously known as Electrography Electrophotography Corona Discharge Photography (CDP) Bioelectrography Gas DischargeVisualization (GDV) Electro Photonic Imaging (EPI) Kirlianography in Russian literature. Kirlian photography has been the subject of mainstream scientific research, para-psychology research and art.
- 6. Timeline In 1889, Czech B. Navratil coined the word "electrography“. in 1896, a French experimenter, H. Baravuc, created electrographs of hands and leaves. In 1939, two Czechs, S. Pratt and J. Schlemmer published photographs showing a glow around leaves. Russian electrical engineer Semyon Kirlian and his wife Valentina developed Kirlian photography. In 1958, the Kirlians reported the results of their experiments for the first time. Extensive researches were conducted in 1970s.
- 7. In 1899 , Nikola Tesla performed experiments whiletestingout TeslaCoil at his laboratory in Colorado Springs showing that a human being exposed to high frequency electro-magnetic fields produced a luminous glow that surrounded the body like asecondskin.
- 8. Process Kirlian photography is a technique for creating contact print photographs using high voltage. The process entails placing sheet photographic film on top of a metal discharge plate. The object to be photographed is then placed directly on top of the film. High voltage is momentarily applied to the metal plate, thus creating an exposure. The corona discharge between the object and the high voltage plate is captured by the film. The developed film results in a Kirlian photograph of the object.

- 10. ColorVariation Color photographic film is calibrated to faithfully produce colors when exposed to normal light. Corona discharges can interact with minute variations in the different layers of dye used in the film. They result in a wide variety of colors depending on the local intensity of the discharge. Film and digital imaging techniques also record light produced by photons emitted during corona discharge
- 11. Grounding Photographs of inanimate objects such as a coins, keys and leaves can be made more effectively by grounding the object to the earth, a cold water pipe or to the opposite (polarity) side of the high voltage source. Grounding the object creates a stronger corona discharge.

- 14. Photography without camera Kirlian photography does not require the use of a camera or a lens because it is a contact print process. It is possible to use a transparent electrode in place of the high voltage discharge plate. The resulting corona discharge can be captured with a standard camera or a video camera.
- 15. Myths and Pseudoscience Many people claim that this sort of photo is showing the "life force" or "aura" of living things. This is something many pseudoscientists are using as so they can sell these sorts of cameras for thousands of dollars. In real, it is just simple corona and ionisation effects that are being observed.
- 16. Electro- Photon Imaging (EPI) Formerly known as Gas DischargeVisualization (GDV), It is an advanced form of Kirlian photography developed by Dr. Konstantin Korotkov. This technology produces an electric impulse, which generates a response of the subject in the form of electron & photon emission.
- 17. The glow of the photon radiation owing to the gas discharge generated from the electromagnetic field is captured by a digital camera and processed by sophisticated software where a report can be generated.
