The following words (edited) are from the GADCOLLECTION web site:<\/p>\n

American Stephen WILKES<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0was born in 1957. He began to photograph when he was 12 years old, a passion which never left him. WILKES<\/a> studied at Syracuse University<\/a>\u2019s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications<\/a>. He graduated with a bachelor of science in photography. Specialized in communication, the school allowed him to develop a deep understanding of the media\u2019s history and uses. He opened his studio in New York City in 1983 and has kept on photographing to this day.<\/p>\n

WILKES photographs for commercials, publishers, himself and above all for others. His photos are made to be shown to the largest audience possible. They testify to a high degree of self-abnegation, so much so that he does not hesitate to dedicate his time and effort to photographic projects which he feels are important; works able to change our perception of the world; to provoke reactions. In 1998, a one-day assignment to the south side of Ellis Island<\/strong> led to a 5-year photographic project. This project resulted in a 2006 book called \u00a0Ghosts of Freedom<\/em>. He did a photo and video study about this abandoned place – medical wards where immigrants were detained (they underwent tests there and were quarantined before being allowed to enter America). Broadly speaking,\u00a0Stephen WILKES<\/a><\/strong>\u2019 photos helped to move the lines. Thanks to his work, $6 million were provided to restore the south side of the island.<\/p>\n

In a different approach, the recent series Day to night<\/em><\/strong> started in 2009. The work gathers in a single photograph the images captured during an entire day. A long and difficult work, each finished image sublimates landscapes and architectures, carefully chosen by\u00a0Stephen WILKES<\/a><\/strong>. Each image in \u00a0this \u00a0tour de force requires a digital treatment of an average of 100 photos during a shooting session of over 24 hours. Some 1400 photos in all were taken for this project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
