Taken at a nearby violin shop. The owner allowed me to have the run of the shop and display rooms for photos.

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.

Nicely captured environment in "work" - in the shop, the second photo with musical instruments is very impressive, great composition!
