The Islands of Ireland

Ireland has long been renowned for its beautiful countryside, but modern Ireland is in the midst of an economic and urban boom, and the peaceful, rural, old-fashioned country lives more in the imagination than in reality. The traditional Ireland, however, can still be found in its many sparsely inhabited islands.
The Irish photojournalist Nutan sailed from island to island, meeting the inhabitants, capturing the special light, recording the distinctive landscapes that are undeveloped and still relatively free of tourism. The craggy splendour of the magnificent scenery, the jagged rocks, strong currents and mercurial winds lend a magical dimension to these places.
Protected by a capricious climate and an inhospitable sea, each of the more than twenty islands celebrated here possesses a history and a beauty all its own.
Nutan is a renowned photographer whose work has appeared in Time, Newsweek, Geo, Stern and many other magazines and newspapers around the world.
