Kirlian Photography

Her diploma thesis addresses Kirlian photography. Before researching this branch of photography, I knew nothing about it, so I view this work as a theoretical, research and experimental project. The thesis focuses primarily on the digital part of modern Kirlian photography, although we can also learn a little about the analogue and its process. The journey leads us through the beginnings of production to photographing and finally to the final results. She proved her claims and findings with photographs in a simple and clear manner.

Problem

Her diploma thesis addresses Kirlian photography. Before researching this branch of photography, I knew nothing about it, so I view this work as a theoretical, research and experimental project.

Solution and Method

The thesis focuses primarily on the digital part of modern Kirlian photography, although we can also learn a little about the analogue and its process. I place electrophotography as a technical phenomenon in the foreground and do not focus too much on the paranormal and conspiracy theories. The emergence of this in the modern era is explained, whilst also presenting what it actually is.

In the initial and theoretical part of the thesis, we can also learn what use it has in the modern world, different ways of obtaining such photography, what advantages it has in certain professional fields, and she also highlighted the most important research in this field. Throughout the thesis, I do not focus on electronics more than necessary, as the centre of attention in this work is photography. Then we change direction slightly and focus on sustainability in art and design, which is a very topical subject today.

The purpose of this is to raise awareness amongst people regarding today's problem of environmental pollution. The most important part of the thesis is the research section, which is based on her own research. In this part, she built a device for corona discharge.

Results

The journey leads us through the beginnings of production to photographing and finally to the final results. She proved her claims and findings with photographs in a simple and clear manner. In this part of the thesis, we arrive at the first critical point and the first incident in the workplace.

She also explained why I treat Kirlian photography as night photography and why she decided on certain guidelines. She also showed the project costs that were essential for realisation. Through the photographic lens, we learn about the behaviour of living and non-living matter on the frame for corona discharge.

The end of the research section describes the process of editing photographs. With this, I quietly indicate the successful end of the project. In the experimental part, I prove my existing knowledge that she has acquired over the years in the field of photography.

I show that I can work independently and how I manage an unknown situation. Equipment for photographing ** Kirlian photography of a necklace** ** Kirlian photography of a coin** ** Kirlian photography of an apple** ** Kirlian photography of a potato**
