Kirlian photography, introduced by Semyon Kirlian in the 1930s, is a photographic method designed to capture electrical coronal discharges. These discharges manifest when an object, often organic in nature, is positioned on a photographic plate and exposed to a high-voltage, high-frequency electrical field. The resultant images frequently portray luminous, vibrant auras or halos encircling the subject. | Project Yourself

Kirlian photography is a technique that creates images of an object's electrical discharge, which can look like an aura or halo. How it works Corona discharge: When an object is charged with electricity, the charge leaks into the surrounding air. This creates a coronal discharge, or gas discharge, in the air. Light pattern: The light pattern of the discharge depends on the object's shape, electrical conductivity, and the air's composition. Kirlian photography is also known as electrophotography
