This is amazing, some of the images have an incredible sci-fi feeling to them. Current link doesn't show all of the photos, the photographer's website has some more : https://www.charlesbrooks.info/

The picture of the internals of a didgeridoo is out of this world, fascinating...

Very pretty, those macro images inside music instruments. Would be fun to see 'internal' videos while those instruments are being used.

Thanks, and as a bonus you get to know which instrument belongs to each photograph!

That violin looks like someone's empty attic. I can almost smell it.

For me, the most impressive part of these pictures is the use of lighting. The play of lights and shadows reproduces the volumes in such a way that one feels immersed, embedded in a vast chamber that is in reality only a few centimeters wide. The cello example is exceptional in that regard.

Edit: it's a cello [1]

Wow this is a stunning look in a different way, I can only imagine all the strange beauty in old arch top guitars.

Also totally agree on the expertise in the lighting. Makes them vibrant and feel lively like caught in a break in the action. Would love to see if he could do time lapse too that’d be neat too. What an artist.

Does anyone know how he managed to keep such a large distance in focus, despite being in macro range? I suppose those are several pictures stitched together somehow?
