Overview
If you were to stand in one spot at an iconic location for 30 hours and simply observe, never closing your eyes, you still wouldnāt be able to take in all the detail and emotion found in a Stephen Wilkes panoramic photograph. Not only does Wilkes shoot over 1,500 exposures from a fixed angle, he also distills this visual information afterward in his studio, painstakingly composing selected frames into a single image.Day to Night presents 60 epic panoramas created between 2009 and 2022, shot everywhere from Africaās Serengeti to the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, from the Grand Canyon to Coney Island, from Trafalgar Square to Times Square. Each composition is a labor of love as well as patience. Wilkes waited more than two years to gain permission to photograph Pope Francis celebrating Easter mass in the Vatican, ultimately producing a vivid tableau in which the pontiff appears 10 times.The book also features extraordinary detailsāworks of art in their own right that highlight the stories contained within each image. A bride makes her way through Central Park; in Tanzania, zebras gather around a near-invisible watering hole during a drought; in Rio de Janeiro, surfers come and go while a man holds a sign reading āNo more than two questions per customer.ā āIt is exactly these small stories, these details, that draw people into the photographs,ā says Wilkes. Once discovered, these mini narratives lend each composition a personal, candid feel.This collection takes us on a seamless trip from dawn to dark across the worldās most iconic locations, unveiling the unique ebb and flow of man-made and natural landmarks like never before.
