Image for Kirlian photography

Kirlian photography

Kirlian photography is a technique that captures the physical phenomenon of coronal discharge, creating images that display an aura-like glow around objects, often living organisms. By placing an object on a photographic plate and applying a high-voltage, high-frequency electric field, a visible electrical discharge occurs, resulting in a colorful, luminous image. This process reveals subtle electrical and moisture variations in the subject. While sometimes associated with capturing "energy fields," scientific understanding suggests it reflects physical properties like moisture content and conductivity rather than metaphysical energies.
