Do you use a macro lens?

I use my regular glasses, +2 diop.

The method consists of photographing your eyes with glasses in a mirror. At the same time, there is no one outsider in the room. Pictures are processed in Photoshop, images of unknown people are found in the pictures.

Hi! Thank you, Sean!

In the top picture, my sister's face, to the right is the face of a man.

Hi! Thank you for your attention to my photos! I have been working in ITC for the last 12 years. For several years in the beginning, I made audio recordings of my contacts. Then I moved on to photos and videos. Initially, I experimented with a video camera and parallel mirrors, but the results were not satisfactory. I started experimenting with water. In my setup, light from a small flashlight set at a 45-degree angle bounces off a mirror that rests on the bottom of a small cuvette of water. Reflection hits a white screen. The water surface is vibrated slightly by the micro fan. The session is held in the evening in a darkened room. Some time after inviting guests from another world, I make a short video (10 ... 30 seconds). Then I view the resulting video frame by frame in a video editor. I find images of human faces, and process them in Photoshop, this is brightness and contrast, nothing more!
Thus, I got an image of my sister, who left our world in 2014. And before the start of the session, I made an audio recording, in which I asked to invite my sister for a video recording. In the audio recording, I was told that she was already here, and a voice was heard that said - let him write. This voice I identified as my sister's.

And it seems that you can always have results. How long do you wait to have a 'good' anomaly, in average ?

Yes, the result is always obtained. How often? It's hard to say ... Sometimes each screen has several images at once. But some day there is nothing. There are many factors involved here ... Including my own mood ...

Still fascinating. Do you "call" for these faces or are you just waiting without anticipation for them to appear?

I don’t call anyone. I just watch frame by frame and know that someone will definitely show up. I'm looking for images that hardly need to be edited. I remove the patina from the eyes, face. I am looking for images that are close to photography. Even more interesting, the number of images that appear depends on the mood I'm starting to work with. Only optimism and good mood! This is how I work with this program.
