A Synchrotron<\/a> is one of several types of particle accelerators, speeding up electrons, protons, and various other subatomic particles along a cyclical path. The powerful machine serves as a circular speedway with a synchronized magnetic field, emitting high energy X-rays that allow researchers to render details at atomic and molecular levels\u2014all of which would be impossible to view with more ordinary scientific tools and techniques.<\/p>\n

This formidable concept of capturing the unseen lies at the core of Charles Brooks\u2019 work, as he photographs the small but vast interiors of musical\u2014and most recently scientific\u2014instruments. <\/p>\n

Continuing<\/a> his Architecture in Music series, one of the photographer\u2019s latest highlights has been working with a 1717 Stradivarius violin. Describing the stringed subject as one of the most extraordinary instruments he\u2019s captured so far, he shares, \u201cit was a rare opportunity, and photographing it was both an honor and one of the most nerve-wracking shoots I\u2019ve undertaken.\u201d<\/p>\n

The photographer\u2019s recent exploration of the Australian Synchrotron may foreshadow an exciting shift into a new realm of instruments. In the meantime, you can find more on Brooks\u2019 website<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
