Day and night converge in this photographer's powerful and stunning images.Photographer Stephen Wilkes' Day to Night images are mesmerizing and awe-inspiring to say the least. Wilkes' photos succinctly capture the frenzied, people-packed streets of New York City and the fleeting moments of the everyday. Wilkes photographs continuously from a fixed camera angle for up to 15 hours and then selects a number of images that are digitally blended into the final photo showing the transition from day to night. We love the juxtaposition of light and dark and the idea of merging two seemingly very different worlds. But more than anything, this is Wilkes' Manhattan--bustling and always changing--and he has succeeded in capturing it all in one frame, day and night.
If you're in New York the coming months, Wilkes' photos will be on view at the exhibition "Day to Night" at CLAMPART gallery from September 8 through October 29.
