Stephen Wilkes blends photographs taken over the course of a day, so there’s day and evening in a single photo. Fascinating and beautiful work, showing at the Robert Klein Gallery in Boston until August 20th, 2016.
Day to Night, Wilkes’ most defining project, began in 2009. These epic cityscapes and landscapes, portrayed from a fixed camera angle for up to 30 hours capture fleeting moments of humanity as light passes in front of his lens over the course of full day.
Day to Night has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning as well as dozens of other prominent media outlets and, with a grant from the National Geographic Society, was recently extended to include America’s National Parks in celebration of their centennial anniversary.

These are gorgeous!

I think so too. It’s a great way to play with light.

To me, the two examples in the OP look like the covers of bad(probably) swords-sandals-and-sorcery novels.

Yes, the pictures do have a bookcover illustration feel to them. And they look great. The Central Park is my favourite.
