Stephen Wiltshire: The Human Camera

Stephen Wiltshire, diagnosed at age three with severe autism, is known for his remarkable ability to draw something he has only seen once with precise detail and accuracy.

Scientists have been unable to explain this phenomena and why some people have these unique genius-like talents.

Until the age of 5, Wiltshire was mute. He began to communicate through pictures and was encouraged by his teachers to continue drawing.  He later went for formal instruction in the subject matter as his interest grew.

He has now drawn many large cities from memory and has sketched legendary skyscrapers such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. Watch the video below to see a glimpse of Wiltshire’s incredible talent.
