A Synchrotron is a type of particle accelerator that effectively speeds up particles and facilitates high-energy X-ray emissions for advanced scientific imaging. Photographer Charles Brooks explores musical instruments, notably a historical 1717 Stradivarius violin, showcasing the intricate interfaces between art and science. His recent focus on the Australian Synchrotron suggests a forthcoming transition in his work towards integrating scientific themes. Brooks emphasizes the honor and challenge of capturing such significant subjects, reflecting on the delicate blend of artistry and precision in his photography.
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.
Describing the stringed subject as one of the most extraordinary instruments he's captured so far, he shares, 'it was a rare opportunity, and photographing it was both an honor and one of the most nerve-wracking shoots I've undertaken.'
