Making of a guitar… ~ part 1

in #photography7 years ago

Some time back, I had the opportunity to visit a luthier’s workshop.

A luthier or a maker of stringed instruments (eg: guitar, violin) happened to be moving studios when we visited. My eyes popped! The number of subjects that I could take pics of!

There were ready made guitars, guitaleles (hybrid of a guitar and a ukelele – errr – what else?!! lol), violins, not to mention curious shapes of instruments-to-be. There was also a collection of pieces of raw wood – wonderful wonderful textures!

Here are a couple of black and white images I collected. I hope you will like them.

Great photos, like the topmost best. It could be almost anything if you don't know what it is. It could be a art museum architecture in Bilbao therefore :)
