Inside a 250-year-old French Violin by Augustin Chappuy.
This violin was just brought to New Zealand and is about to be restored - so I thought I'd do this 'before' photo, and you can all check back in in about a year's time once it's been through the hands of Le Violon Rouge luthiers!
Photographed with a Medical Endoscope and a Lumix G9ii
Work in progress for my Architecture In Music series.

A photograph of the inside of a splendid Geminhardt Elkhardt Alto Flute.
This shot is the result of combining 960 individual images. This offers an unparalleled insight into the instrument, revealing the intricate details of its craftsmanship, the delicate fibers of the pads, and the traces left by years of meticulous cleaning.
Signing prints that are headed for permanent collections in the South-East of France. These 19 photos are now the inalienable property of the French Public!
Just chilling out with a few of my prints....

Inside the Action of a Fazioli Grand Piano. I'm always in awe of just how precise the work is in these tiny spaces; this opening is less than 2cm in diameter.
A typical Fazioli is made from more than 11'000 individual parts.

Today we touch base on the intersection between music and photography, and that in many different ways. My guest today is Charles Brooks, an exceptionable photographer and musician, that for the last 20 years has been New Zealand’s most successful orchestral cellist. Charles held principal positions in Australia, China, Chile and Brazil, with concerts worldwide. He also gives us insights in the organisation and culture of professional symphony orchestras and shares personal stories about the life of an orchestra musician that played with Lang Lang and for celebrities like Tony Blair and Arnold Schwarzenegger. While his music career took him around the globe at an early age, photography was always there. Charles refined his photographic craft of making musician portraits, astrophotography and landscapes until National Geographic took notice in 2011. In the pandemic, he prototyped and developed a spectacular new way of photographing the inside of a variety of musical instruments, literally opening up a new space and visual world that give insights in the craft of the most formidable luthiers and instrument makers. And these got picked up worldwide by magazines like The Telegraph, classic fm, Domus, France Musique, Daily Mail, and just recently Die Zeit in Germany.

New prints for a collector in Sweden, rolling off the press at the outstanding skar image lab in New Zealand.
This is the 105cm wide version of the Lockey Hill cello.
Lockey Hill built this instrument around 1780. His family would go on to become the most famous luthiers in England (hill & sons), however Lockey's career was cut short when he was tried and executed for horse theft in 1790!

This is the inside of an Australian Didgeridoo!
Many don't realise that these instruments are naturally hollowed out by Termites.
Australian legend says that the first Didgeridoo was created when a hollow branch was pointed at the sky and blown to remove the termites. The white termites flew into the air and became the stars, to the sound of incredible music.
