We first came across the work of Stephen Wilkes’ images in National Geographic, and his Day to Night images stopped us in our tracks. They somehow showed us scenes never seen in one single image before.
After editing over 1500+ images Wilkes seamlessly blends approximately 50 of the best moments of the Day and Night to create one single photograph. We see landscapes and cityscapes captured from the exact same location over the course of one day.
For a New York cityscape, we see the lights of the Brooklyn Bridge, and a moody purple sky on the left. As the image shifts to the right, we see skyscrapers reflecting the sun, and the cirrus clouds of daytime above.
Unlike timelapse, these images capture moments of time, and are seamlessly stitched together to create one flawless end product.
You can see more of Wilkes’ beautiful work, which extend beyond the Day to Night series on his website.
