The first aura photo was made by the genius scientist Nikola Tesla in 1891.
The Soviet Union did research in several tests in the 60's. Until 1975 the aura was measured and photographed in universities with great precision worldwide. In the early seventies and eighties there were some 'garage' companies in the area which is now known as Silicon Valley and Apple Computer is the most famous of them. While others were involved with information technology and were developing products for the age of spacecrafts which we know well today.
One man looked into a different direction...
Guy Coggins was fascinated by Kirlian Photography and computer technology and brought his technical skills, his ability to see auras and his wish to make alternative consciousness available for everybody together and he developed the first aura camera. His second name is 'Aura' because he has such a close connection to this technique and it wouldn't be possible to think of aura photography without him. In the 3rd decade in which he is producing aura cameras, he works at his window to the soul and he improves his techniques even more.
