Wow! Love these. That's so awesome that the owner let you in the shop and photograph like this. I think there are unique opportunities. #1 sets the stage well, but I really like #2 with the violins lined up.

As a woodworker I'd love to watch how they make these. And as a photographer I'd also love to play in a workshop like this one. Nice work - especially how you lined up your comp in #2.

Thank you for the kind comments. The 2nd photo was used as the promotional photo for the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival one year (my only published photo). I don't remember how they saw it.

.. A tremendous second image. Appreciate that you have exposed for blown highlights for added dynamic power.

… A thought is that the lighting in the first image is definitely not flattering. It would be tremendous to have him pose with a single source in front of him… perhaps a candle…

Here's another craftsman.....not working by candlelight, however. ;)
