Kirlian photography is a collection of photographic techniques used to capture the phenomenon of electrical coronal discharges. It is named after Semyon Kirlian, who, in 1939, accidentally discovered that if an object on a photographic plate is connected to a high-voltage source, an image is produced on the photographic plate.^[1] The technique has been variously known as “electrography”,^[2] “electrophotography”,^[3] “corona discharge photography” (CDP),^[4] “bioelectrography”,^[5] “gas discharge visualization (GDV)”,^[6] “electrophotonic imaging (EPI)”,^[7] and, in Russian literature, “Kirlianography”.
