Pictures of musical instruments - from the inside!

From Standing Room Only, 12:41 pm on 13 February 2022

Just imagine being able to walk through the interior of an historic cello, a grand piano, or even a didgeridoo

Using special probe lenses and high resolution cameras, Kiwi cellist and photographer Charles Brooks takes us right into the heart of all kinds of musical instruments.

The extraordinary, blown-up images he's created make the spaces feel vast - as if you're walking into a room or even a cathedral.

They are quite jaw dropping, and they've attracted international attention.

Charles Brooks tells Lynn Freeman he made a name for himself taking unconventional portraits of musicians from around the world, and he was also hugely successful orchestral cellist.
