Working as a photojournalist and artist, Stephen Wilkes is well known for his photographs of abandoned and deteriorating buildings, including a series of the dilapidated hospital wings of Ellis Island, a project that resulted in a $6-million grant to restore the island. More recently, he created the sweeping panoramas of his series “Day to Night”, which dramatically shift from dawn to midnight in a single image; Wilkes created this effect by taking up to 1,500 photographs during the course of one day, eventually narrowing them down to 50 and combining them digitally. His work has been featured in leading magazines and newspapers including Vanity Fair, Time, Life Magazine, and The New York Times Magazine. (Artsy.net)

“The Flatiron building has been called "one of the world". It's the most iconic skyscrapers. It has always been one of my favourite buildings. I love the compositional divide the building creates in this photograph. Like the bow of a great ship, the Flatiron mirrors itself, each side shares a different avenue of the city. To make this image, I photographed from a 170-foot crane floating directly over 5th Ave. Broadway is seen as ‘day’, and 5th avenue, is photographed at ‘night’. This photograph was created on the anniversary of 9/11 in 2010. As twilight came over the city, the 9/11 memorial lights began to rise at the end of Fifth Avenue. It's an image about hope and memory. New Yorkers continue to move forward, yet never forget.” ~ Stephen Wilkes
