Description
Photographer Stephen Wilkes is one of America's most iconic photographers, widely recognized for his fine art, editorial and commercial work. Day to Night, Wilkes's most defining project, began in 2009. These epic cityscapes and landscapes portrayed from a fixed camera angle for up to 30 hours capture fleeting moments of humanity as light passes in front of his lens over the course of a full day. A select group of these images are then seamlessly blended into one photograph, capturing the changing of time within a single frame.
“I like to describe myself as a collector of magical moments,” he has explained. “My work is a combination of art & science. I’m exploring the space time continuum within a 2 dimensional still photograph. Time is something we’ve never been able to put our minds around, yet in a unique way these images begin to put a face on time.”
Stephen Wilkes has teamed up with 4D Brands International to launch a full puzzle collection of the Day to Night Series. With over forty epic images to come, you can expect to experience all the famous and historic places that Stephen has captured throughout his decade long project.
"Bass Rock is an uninhabited island in the north of Scotland. The island has a lighthouse, as well as a castle and a ruined chapel. During breeding season, 150,000 gannets gather on this island in the Firth of Forth. In winter, the birds escape south, many travelling as far as West Africa. To create this image, we set up near the ruins of the chapel, approximately six feet from the nesting birds on Bass Rock. We walked up 150 steps to reach this location! I photographed for more than 28 hours. The terrain and the aggressive nature of the gannets, along with their copious guano, made for less-than-ideal shooting conditions. Volcanic soil and rock, which would crumble when you stepped on it, made sitting almost impossible. I was captivated by both the sight and sound of this throng of birds, roosting around us with no fear."
