This new and expansive monograph documents four weeks that I spent on the truly magical island of Unst, the most northerly of the Shetland Isles over the course of two trips in 2018 and 2019. This high-resolution eBook is designed to be viewed on tablet, laptop or desktop for the best experience. The eBook is 66 pages in total, featuring 50 black + white photographs; plus bonus chapter 'Colours of Unst' featuring 14 colour photographs. Also included are 8 text pages, consisting of journal entries and thoughts from this wild and rugged island.
What people are saying:
“I thoroughly enjoyed this monograph, packed with photographs that embrace the rugged nature of Unst’s wind-carved landscapes.
Karl’s monochrome images, in particular, feel raw and powerful, capturing the island’s wild energy - battered cottages, fierce seas, endless winds - and avoiding the usual ‘pretty’ postcard views in favour of ordinary details like weathered telegraph poles or fading footprints.
The short diary entries add another dimension, demonstrating how these stripped-back, harsh places can paradoxically offer a sense of calm and perspective, reminding us of our modest place within something infinitely larger.
The ebook format is a good choice: affordable, accessible, and especially relevant at a time when major social platforms are becoming increasingly unfriendly to still photography.” - Andrew Mahon.
