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.<ref name="Unified"/>

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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/seldon-hunt-p538464/credits |title=Seldon Hunt – Credits|publisher=AllMusic|accessdate=17 June 2011}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Seldon+Hunt|title=Seldon Hunt – Credits|publisher=discogs|accessdate=17 June 2010}}</ref> His first album cover artwork was for a solo album by KK Null (Zeni Geva).<ref name="Design"/><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.bloodandfire.ro/content/10-seldon-hunt|title=Seldon Hunt|publisher=Blood & Fire Productions|accessdate=17 June 2011}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://hammersmashedsound.blogspot.com/2009/07/seldon-hunt-interview.html|title=Seldon Hunt interview|date=20 July 2009|publisher=Hammer Smashed Sound|accessdate=17 June 2011}}</ref> He has worked with Stephen O'Malley from Sunn O)))) and the label Southern Lord.
