PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE · eRADIO COLOMBIA
Inside eRadio's Bogotá Studios in 2015
Photographic archive of eRadio's Bogotá studios in April 2015. Twelve images document the radio studio, microphones, workstations, screens and production environment.
In April 2015, eRadio’s studios in Bogotá served as a space for production, conversation and broadcasting during an important period for the outlet. This photographic archive preserves images taken on April 14 and April 30 of that year and shows how the studio was set up: the work table, the numbered microphones, the operating stations, the computers, the screens and the glass-enclosed booth.
The photographs preserved correspond to two sessions recorded on April 14 and April 30, 2015. Today these images carry documentary value because they help physically contextualize other interviews and records preserved in this archive.
The Studio Where Radio Was Made
The photographs show a central production table with multiple workstations, microphones suspended on articulated arms, headphones, computers and monitors, and screens installed around the studio displaying eRadio’s branding. The booth, separated from the rest of the studio by glass, appears in several of the images, along with the characteristic green lighting visible in some of them.
An Infrastructure for Interviews and Production
The nelsonvahos.com archive contains various interviews conducted at eRadio during 2015, including the conversations with Alberto Cepeda Zubieta and María Victoria García, with Herbin Hoyos and with Francisco “Pacho” Santos. These photographs help visitors understand the physical environment in which that stage of production took place: this was eRadio’s production environment during that period, without implying that any specific photograph was taken during one of those particular interviews.
Two Sessions from April 2015
April 14, 2015. The first preserved set of the studio from that month.
April 30, 2015. A second photographic record of the premises and the work table.
More than photographs of equipment and furniture, these images preserve the physical setting of a period in eRadio Colombia’s history. This space is where part of a journalistic and radio production took place, one that can now be reconstructed through interviews, photographs and records progressively added to the Nelson Vahos Historical Archive.
