Kirlian Photography
Here's the Revelation of How Kirlian
Photography Actually Works
Cheryl Mascarenhas
Call it aura photography or contact print photography,
Kirlian photography is all about capturing energy flow.
Try this type of photography to get a better
understanding about animate and inanimate objects around you.
Living and nonliving
beings emit a distinct and unique aura.
Aura or field of
energy, as they call it, is nothing but radiation of electromagnetic energy
from an organism.
With Kirlian
photography, you can capture the electromagnetic energy/glow radiating from
objects, both living and nonliving.
Though aura discharge
is limited to living objects, introducing a high electric current to nonliving
objects also gives it its own aura or glow.
Let's learn how this
occurs through this article.
Kirlian Photography
Discovered accidentally by Semyon Davidovich
Kirlian in 1939, Kirlian photography is essentially contact photography, which
involves direct contact of the subject with a charged metal plate.
In other words, it is also termed as
electrography, electronic photography or corona discharge photography.
The object emanates electromagnetic waves that
are captured onto the film plate, which, when developed is the Kirlian
photograph of the object. It is used to show the variations in the energy flow.
Working of this Technique
Living organisms give out electromagnetic
impulses, normally called aura, from specific points or paths referred to as
meridians.
When the living organism is introduced to a
high-frequency surface, the coronary discharge or aura is clearly visible as
the intensity of the discharge increases.
This discharge then passes onto the discharge
plate, which is recorded and when developed forms the photogram of the object
being photographed.
Kirlian Photography Equipment
Kirlian photography works on the principle of
contact, which means the subject being photographed must, by all means, touch
the film plate directly.
The technique works by sending a painless
electric charge into the part of the body being photographed and then capturing
the image of the discharge onto a photographic plate.
This type of photography involves the use of a
different kind of equipment; it involves a high voltage transformer, an
exposure/discharge plate and grounding.
When using an SLR camera to record the
electromagnetic discharge, you would have to use a transparent discharge plate
to achieve the desired effect.
The camera is placed on one end of the
transparent sheet while the object is placed on the other end.
The camera then records the discharge through
this transparent plate after high voltage is applied to the plate on which the
object is placed.
When you're photographing inanimate objects,
remember to have them connected to grounding to produce a stronger aura.
A word of caution though; do not ground any
living subjects, as it can result in a rude shock.
Taking Kirlian Photographs
✦ Place
the sheet film on top of the metal plate.
✦ Place
the object to be photographed on the sheet.
✦
Connect the grounding to the object.
✦
Introduce the object to high voltage electric current to create an exposure.
✦ The
discharge between the plate and the object is recorded onto the film.
✦
Develop the image for your unique Kirlian photograph.
Constructing a Kirlian Camera
Discharge
Plate: To make the
discharge plate, you can use either a copper board or an aluminum foil covered
wood piece.
Wooden
Enclosure: Create
a wooden enclosure for your camera to block out all other sources of light to
get a clear image.
Power
Supply: You can use
your car or motorcycle battery to generate the power supply or simply connect
it to a wall adapter giving an output of 12-14 volts DC.
Transparent
Discharge Plate: When using an
SLR camera, you would need to use a transparent discharge plate. It can be
built using a piece of glass coated with a transparent conductive oxide
connected to a high voltage wire and a transfer plate.
Kirlian photography is
beneficial in the medical field to study the impact of emotions on the human
aura, and to predict the occurrence of sickness and stress, long before the physical
symptoms become evident.
What makes this an
amazing technique of photography is that you will be able to properly research
the properties of medicinal plants, or even sort out seeds or analyze vitality
of foodstuff with Kirlian photography.
