‘The Isles of Scilly: Islands Apart, Online Together’, is a re-mastered version of the award winning 1989 photography book by world renowned artist, John Hunt.

Brought into the electronic world for the first time, John Hunt’s collection of Black and White photographs are breath taking, beautiful, and somewhat haunting.

In 1987, after visiting and photographing many British and offshore Islands, John Hunt decided to move from Inner City London and went to live on the Isles of Scilly.
This book is a book of John’s impressions from the Islands. The eighty black and white photographs which make up this evocative, award winning collection are indeed impressive. His writing is friendly and unpretentious, taking the reader on a charming, sometimes quirky journey through the major Islands as well as some of the lesser visited.
Purchase this book, and visit these Isles trapped in time for yourself…

Praise for the book:

‘Hunt can write environment in a way that gives Cormac McCarthy a run for his money, which is a rare thing to find.’
ANDREW GALLAGHER

‘A thoroughly absorbing text…one of the most evocative books ever published about Scilly.
CORNISH LIFE

‘A distinct mood is created and captured beautifully on black and white film. John Hunt has portrayed perfectly the unique qualities of the isles with his inspiring photography. It is a sensitive body of work that should affect us all.
PHOTOGRAPHY MAGAZINE

‘John Hunt has captured in words and superb photography some of the atmosphere of the Isles and has managed to portray something of their unique magic and mystery, which seems to hold some of us here and persuades many to return…again and again.
