    Tarisio is the world’s leading auction house for fine and rare stringed instruments and bows. With customers buying online from around the globe, often relying solely on my photos and videos of the instruments, the photography and post-production work must be flawless.

    Since 2011, I have photographed all auction and private sale items for Tarisio London, and at times for select auctions in New York and Berlin.

    paper The Violin Maker, the Bow Maker & The Musician

    https://www.twine.net/signin

    Three short films that take a look at what’s behind the music, how skilled craftspeople and musicians come to work together.

    We meet Violin maker Yuki Hori in his Tokyo workshop, Bow maker Kunitaka Ohse at his workshop in Gokayama and finally Violinist Yoko Kubo. Each talk of how their trade and how integral it is to the process to work symbiotically with each other, in pursuit of the highest results possible.

    Filming took place in Tokyo and Gokayama, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the west of Japan, working closely alongside Art Director and Script Writer for the project, Kenzo Hiramatsu. Video editing was undertaken back at my London studio.
