==== Nonstandard photography ====
 
"Many types of light have frequencies too high or too low for the human eye to detect. [...] A number of specialized photography techniques have been devised to work with different light frequencies to make the invisible visible." (Delton T. Horn)
 
One of those techniques is known as "Kirlian photography". In a Kirlian photograph, subjects are surrounded by colorful auras, which indicate their inner state on a physical, mental, and spiritual level. A professional institution could be asked to read the photographs.
