Day to Night by Stephen Wilkes

In 2000, Stephen was commissioned by 'Epson America' to make a portrait of the United States and these are part of it.

He went to a high building and continuously photographed from one angle only for at least 10 to 15 hours taking hundreds shots to capture cityscapes of New York City's feeling moment from day to night; this was for each work he did for Day to Night. He then continued his work on Photoshop to effectively blend in each image together.

I love his edited photographs The moment i saw them, i was instantly mesmerized by the beauty & his concept. Researching into Day to Night influenced greatly one of my concept in relation to rush hour from morning to the evening in rapid time. 

Stephens edited his work in a way that it can easily communicate to his viewers what his concept is really about. The blended the photos together, on one half showing the moment when it was day and the other in the night. From the photographs you can get a sense what makes New York City really interesting and attractive; it's the energy flowing through out. From day to night and it will still look lively. It looks surreal. I can see why people call it "The city that never sleeps".

All the positive responses Stephen received from the public is what inspired him to make this original work.

An amazing photographer and work, i would like to research more into his work.
