Stephen Wilkes

Stephen Wilkes has been widely recognized for his fine art and commercial photography shooting editorial and advertising campaigns for major publications. In 1999 Wilkes completed a personal project photographing the south side of Ellis Island: the ruined landscape of the infectious disease and psychiatric hospital wings, where children and adults alike were detained before they could enter America. Wilkes’ newest body of work is titled, "Day to Night"™. Wilkes photographs from a fixed camera angle continuously for up to 30 hours, throughout the “Day to Night”™. A select group of images are then digitally blended into one photograph, capturing the changing of time in a single frame. Wilkes has won numerous awards and honors and continues to exhibit his work in both museums and galleries where he is represented by Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery in New York, Monroe Gallery in Santa Fe.
