Stephen Wilkes’ Day to Night

Photographer Stephen Wilkes’ Day to Night Series is a unique collection that perfectly captures the energetic ebb and flow from dawn ’til dark of different well-known landmarks around the world. In each of Wilkes’ Day to Night creations, he masterfully blends thirty to fifty photos into one fluid image to seamlessly create surrealist cityscapes.​​

As Wilkes explains, “I imagined changing time in a single photograph. I began to explore this fascination with time in a new series of photographs called: “Day to Night”. Photographing from one camera angle continuously for up to 15 hours, capturing the fleeting moments throughout the day and night. A select group of these images are then blended into one photograph, capturing the changing of time within a single frame.

The results are stunning. They glow. They invite the viewer to come in, look closer, feel the pulse of a location that never sleeps as it moves from the early morning hours into lit up urban darkness.
