Hebridean Light

A unique collection of color photographs of the Hebrides by the celebrated photographer Gus Wylie. For his monochrome work, Wylie has been acclaimed by author Michael Russell as "The best modern photographer of the Western Isles." This collection is a lyrical exploration of the possibilities that color offers: a sense of time and place, and a feel of the unique atmosphere and light that can only be found in the Hebrides; of the extraordinary quality of translucent water upon the freshness of white unpolluted sands. Wylie has built up the collection using pairs of images on double page spreads: comparing, for example, the colors of earth lichen and water in one shot with an image of a crofter weaving tweed in Harris. The result is a magical, beautiful collection that acknowledges the incredible sensual pleasure of the environment.
