Kirlian Photography

Man has forever been captivated by photography and the ability to be able to capture images and memories forever. The question that arises is whether the use of Kirlian photography can be used to capture ghosts and spirits on camera. The right use of equipment and technique in Kirlian photography will enable one to capture the aura that exists around all living creatures and in the atmosphere. This gives a person who is well-versed ability to read the auras of people and tell them their interpretations. This way the use of Kirlian photography can lead one to be able to do more than just take photographs.

This method has been invented in 1939 by Semyon Kirlian by placing a film on metal plate that has been applied with high voltage current. Any object placed on the film would show auras or halo around the object. It was believed that this is something supernatural, but in reality it is just moisture and temperature that is released from the object into photographic film.  it takes photography well into the world of art and the likes of Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso. 

Kirlian photography is a procedure used in medical diagnosis and reconstruction of body parts after accidents, wounds or surgery. After the natural healing process has been stopped the organs and tissues that were injured are physically seen and imaged for scientists to determine their function and structure.

Kirlian photography involves taking several photographs of different areas of the body using a photographic film. They can be used as actual physical proof of what the body looks like after surgical surgery or if an accident had occurred, which can be easily demonstrated by taking photographs. The images taken will consist of three dimensions, allowing the scientist to gain detailed information regarding the structure of the damaged tissue and organs.

To carry out this procedure Semyon Kirlian creates computer models of the body parts he wishes to photograph. These models can then be digitally manipulated so that they will look like actual parts of the body.

Semyon Kirlian uses a computer to compare different pictures to determine the best angles to take a photograph. Then these angles will be made into layers, which will eventually be printed to create one full-color photograph.

Once the photographs have been created they are then processed through a machine development process. The process involves removing any biological material that could have been used in the experiment and treating the tissue. After this process the results of the photographs will be totally accurate and should be completely clear.

In order to achieve this, the photographs need to be framed, which involves different types of equipment. Different pictures can be taken to enhance the results.

Kirlian photography is a specialized process, which requires a professional photographer. However, this also requires a great deal of skill as the photographer will need to know the anatomy of the human body.
