Hunt's photography usually consists of thick undergrowth yet is often devoid of any human presence. His work has been compared to the romantic landscape painting of the 19th Century. His influences include the works of Vaughan Oliver and Neville Brody.[2]
Hunt is best known in the world of music for his graphic works – often extremely complex – for rock bands Neurosis, Earth, Jesu, Isis, Dälek, Mick Harris, Acid Mothers Temple, and the Melvins.[6][7] His first album cover artwork was for a solo album by KK Null (Zeni Geva).[1][8][9] He has worked with Stephen O'Malley from Sunn O)))) and the label Southern Lord. His work is associated with other labels such as Hydrahead, Ipecac, TeePee and Relapse Records.
He is the author of an essay published in the booklet of Sunn O)))'s The Grimmrobe Demos.[10]
