Capturing the impossible transition from day to night in a single frame
In short: Photographer Stephen Wilkes explores the space-time continuum by merging different moments into one still image. This video takes you behind the scenes of his process at iconic global landmarks.
Wilkes creates stunning compositions that illustrate the transition of light and atmosphere, effectively collapsing time into a two-dimensional medium. The fluid character of surroundings is depicted by him through images of a Serengeti watering hole, Yosemite National Park's El Capitan, and the Paris Tournelle Bridge.
The work serves as a meditation on the space-time continuum, showing how a single photograph can hold the weight of a passing day. It invites the viewer to see the world not as a series of disconnected moments, but as a continuous, evolving flow.
