"Migration" was taken on New Years Day 2010 and depicts a flock of small birds in a winter, slate, blue sky The work is an archival pigment print and in an edition of 20. Angilee’s work reflects upon the subtle and often overlooked beauty and strangeness found in the thickets, grassland prairies and flood plains of the North Texas and Southern Oklahoma region. This work poetically formulates her interpretation of this landscape and its skies. Angilee Wilkerson holds a Masters of Fine Arts from Texas Woman’s University with an emphasis in Photography and Paper & Book Arts. She is an artist with an extensive exhibition record, university lecturer of fine art and a professional editorial photographer. Angilee has participated in both international and national exhibitions including seven solo exhibitions and over 40 group exhibitions. Her work has been recognized and honored by jurors from The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, NY; The Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY; The George Eastman Museum of Photography and Film, Rochester, NY; The Society for Photographic Education; Aperture Magazine; and many others. In addition her photographs have been featured in fine art journals, editorial magazines, and newspapers, including The Photo Review; Photographer’s Forum; Harper’s & Queen—London; The Wall Street Journal; Photo District News and many others. Active in her community, she is often invited to lead fine art workshops for institutions such as The Dallas Museum of Art, The Arlington Museum of Art and Texas Photographic Society.

Most photographs are created using a camera, which uses a lens to focus the scene's visible wavelengths of light into a reproduction of what the human eye would see. The process of creating photographs is called photography. (Photo) "representation by means of lines" or "drawing", together meaning "drawing with light". The first permanent photograph was made in 1825 by a French inventor, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, building on a discovery by Johann Heinrich Schultz (1724): that a silver and chalk mixture darkens under exposure to light. Niépce and Louis Daguerre refined this process. Daguerre discovered that exposing the silver first to iodine vapor, before exposure to light, and then to mercury fumes after the photograph was taken, could form a latent image; bathing the plate in a salt bath then fixes the image. These ideas led to the famous daguerreotype. The daguerreotype had its problems, notably the fragility of the resulting picture, and that it was a positive-only process and thus could not be re-printed. Inventors set about looking for improved processes that would be more practical. Several processes were introduced and used for a short time between Niépce's first image and the introduction of the collodion process in 1848. Collodion-based wet-glass plate negatives with prints made on albumen paper remained the preferred photographic method for some time, even after the introduction of the even more practical gelatin process in 1871. Adaptations of the gelatin process have remained the primary black-and-white photographic process to this day, differing primarily in the film material itself, originally glass and then a variety of flexible films. Color photography is almost as old as black-and-white, with early experiments dating to John Herschel's experiments with Anthotype from 1842, and Lippmann plate from 1891. Color photography became much more popular with the introduction of Autochrome Lumière in 1903, which was replaced by Kodachrome, Ilfochrome and similar processes. For many years these processes were used almost exclusively for transparencies (in slide projectors and similar devices), but color prints became popular with the introduction of the Chromogenic negative, which is the most-used system in the C-41 process. The needs of the movie industry have also introduced a host of special-purpose systems, perhaps the most well known being the now-rare Technicolor.
