Captive electricity

Dazzling work by Hiroshi Sugimoto.

Hiroshi Sugimoto

Hiroshi Sugimoto uses a 400,000-volt Van De Graaff generator to apply an electrical charge directly onto his film.

See also Peter Miller's Polariod experiments.

Update: Robert Buelteman uses electricity to take photos of flowers.
