300px|thumb|Stephen Wilkes in 2016 '''Stephen Wilkes''' (born October 28, 1957) is an American photographer, photojournalist, director and fine artist.

== Life and work == Wilkes was born in 1957 in New York. He received his BS in photography from Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications with a minor in business management from the Whitman School of Management in 1980. Since opening his New York studio in 1983, Stephen Wilkes has built a sizable body of work, gaining him notoriety as a photographer and wide recognition for his fine art, editorial and commercial work.

Wilkes’ early career interpretations of mainland China, California's Highway One, and impressionistic ''Burned Objects'' set the tone for a series of career-defining projects.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Stephen Wilkes: Time Machine|url=http://www.zphotojournal.com/photo-journal/2014/9/10/stephen-wilkes-time-machine|access-date=2022-02-09|website=zPhotoJournal|language=en-US}}</ref>

In 1998, a one-day assignment to the south side of Ellis Island led to a 5-year photographic study of the island's long-abandoned medical wards where immigrants were detained before they could enter America.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-04-24|title=Stephen Wilkes Captures the Ghosts of Ellis Island|url=https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/stephen-wilkes/|access-date=2022-02-09|website=1stDibs Introspective|language=en}}</ref> His photographs and video helped secure donations upwards of $6 million for the restoration of the south side of Ellis Island. A monograph based on the work, ''Ellis Island: Ghosts of Freedom'', was published in 2006 and was named one of TIME magazine's 5 Best Photography Books of the Year.<ref>{{Cite magazine|title=Stephen Wilkes' Incredible Cityscapes Span Day to Night|url=https://time.com/79043/stephen-wilkes-incredible-cityscapes-span-day-to-night/|access-date=2022-02-09|magazine=Time|language=en}}</ref> The work was also featured on NPR and CBS Sunday Morning.

In 2000, Epson America commissioned Wilkes to create a millennial portrait of the United States. ''America In Detail''— a 52-day odyssey was exhibited in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
