Pictures of musical instruments - from the inside! - a podcast by RNZ

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.
