Day To Night: I Capture 24 Hours In One Image (21 Pics)

424

ADVERTISEMENT

I photograph from locations and views that are part of our collective memory. Working from a fixed camera angle, I capture the fleeting moments of humanity and light as time passes.

After 24 hours of photographing and over 1500 images taken, I select the best moments of the day and night. Using time as my guide, all of these moments are then seamlessly blended into a single photograph, visualizing our conscious journey with time.

    The concept of capturing the passage of time in a single image is a fascinating artistic endeavor. This technique can transform well-known locations, like New York City’s Flatiron and Washington Square.

    For a detailed exploration of how New York transitions from day to night, you can delve into how timeless moments are captured with innovative photography techniques.

    Unbelievable work!.. How on earth did you blend these images? Was it in photoshop or a separate piece of software?

    Nice pictures! Especially my hometown Shanghai <3 but actually that pic was taken at the Bund, in PuXi not Pudong (Pudong is that side with the Pearl Tower across the river) :) Great work!

    So, I guess you have to stay out all night to do this? I guess you would for fear someone would steal the camera/tripod. The images are really breathtaking. You should make a coffee table book out of these images.

    Awesome idea, but the editing of the people could use some help. I've made renderings more convincing than this.

    The Rockefeller Center is the most integrated and interesting for sure. The vertical blends are amazing.
