Architecture in Music
Welcome to the Architecture of Music gallery! As a photographer and a lover of music, I am deeply honored to share with you my passion project that explores the hidden beauty of musical instruments.
Using Special Probe lenses and High Resolution Lumix cameras, I delve into the intricate details of each instrument, taking dozens to hundreds of individual frames for each photo. Each composition is carefully crafted to capture the essence of the instrument and make it appear vast and cavernous, giving the viewer a sense of being transported to another world.
One of the unique challenges I face when shooting these tiny spaces is the narrow depth of field. To overcome this, I combine hundreds of shots with varying focus to ensure the entire instrument is in sharp focus, from front to back. The result is an awe-inspiring illusion of space.
This project is an ongoing labor of love, with countless instruments and stories waiting to be explored. I am humbled and grateful for the worldwide recognition this project has received and I hope you enjoy exploring this world of hidden musical beauty as much as I have enjoyed creating it.
Thank you for joining me on this journey and allowing me to share my passion with you!

These Photos seem to have struck a chord and have now been featured by numerous international publications:
Daily Mail: Getting IN tune! The interior of musical instruments including a cello and grand piano are transformed into vast spaces in fascinating set of photos
Colossal: “Striking Photos Reveal the Hidden Structures of Instruments”
My Modern Met: “Stunning Photos Reveal the Architectural Interiors Hidden Within Classical Instruments”
and my favourite:
MOT Times: “The new rice cooker has been revealed! Astounding shadows of a chest of glass”
(google translate clearly has some issues with Chinese…)
