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.

4. Carolin Pertsch’s Seagrass Stools

“I can’t believe these stools are made from seagrass. I think this is such a clever alternative to using other non-sustainable materials,” says managing editor Lise Avis.

5. Nikola Bašić’s Sea Organ

“This sea organ in one of the world’s oldest Croatian cities changes its song depending on the tide. It sounds absolutely magical,” says content producer Michaela Stehr.
