Stephen Wilkes Photography: Day to Night

WORDS Michaela Stehr IMAGES stephenwilkes.com

Stephen Wilkes captures striking images of famous cities transcending from day to night, using over 1 000 photographs taken over a 24-hour period.

We first noticed Stephen Wilkes’ photography when we featured his phenomenal work as a Pick of the Week. These moody and surreal panoramas draw a variety of timeframes into one still image.

Stephen wakes up early and uses a a crane to get a good aerial view of the landscape he is shooting. Usually the final photograph is made up of about 50 pictures chosen from the entire series.

He was inspired to create the pieces after studying David Hockney’s work, where he shot 250 pictures for a single image.
