Stephen Wilkes
about the artist
The American photographer, photojournalist, and visual artist Stephen Wilkes was born in 1957 in New York and began to photograph from age 12. Stephen received his BS in photography from Syracuse University’s School of Public Communications.
Working on his celebrated Day to Night series, the photographer spends up to 30 hours perched at least 50 feet in the air, shooting over a thousand frames of a chosen location from the same vantage point, and later meticulously assembles the resulting day and night shots in a single panoramic image. In his artworks, photography transcends the limitations of time and ceases to be static, reflecting the diverse spectrum of events one can experience throughout the day in a certain part of the world.
