Kirlian Photography - Jonathan Knowles

We thought you’d like to have a sneak peek at this shot before it goes live tomorrow on our Behance Account.

The series was done using traditional Kirlian Photography techniques, where the electrical ‘aura’ of a charged item is recorded on a piece of film (remember film, and happy trips to the lab and excitement when it all came out!), placed on a discharge plate. Photoshop was not involved in the production of this series; they are all straight scans. The intensity of the ‘aura’ can be controlled and changed on the amplitude and wave form which is put through the object, which will also have the by-product of altering the colours, though not in an entirely predictable way!

Colluctae Bullae

In his Colluctae Bullae series, Jonathan looks at the surface of water, intermingling with beautiful spherical bubbles, and how the angles and quality of light look as they are distressed and agitated. The colours that come through are almost hypnotic with the energy jumping out of the page.
