"It was always the perfect balance of creative freedom and creative direction when shooting with Mr. Wiley. He helped me to discover abilities I didn’t even know I possessed. He has a way of explaining the goal so that you really can emote in front of the camera to create a beautiful work of art. David is the type of photographer you dream of working with because you feel at ease and comfortable around him."
~ Shakara, Dancer/Actress/Model
David:
I shared, with a close friend, your photograph of me that I wish to use. C. Robert is a playwright the former chair of the theater program at Mars Hill College in Mars Hill, North Carolina. I respect his opinion and we have often been "critics" for each other. His comments follow:
I really like the contemporary shot your student did. Appropriately winsome, mature, serious, warm, . . . saying "nice, talented person." Your student did well indeed. I would think the university would like this a lot. Give your student congratulations from a 'kindred spirit.'

"David's bubbly personality and constructive criticism made it easy to allow my own personality to shine through. As a new model it was challenging to visualize and create what I thought his objectives were, but David’s knowledge of directing made understanding his vision easy."
~ Keviny Dewberry, Model/Actress
David Barrow Wiley is a man of many talents. I recently had a photo shoot with him and the experience itself was simply amazing. His approach helped to bring out my best, but more importantly, it helped me to simply be "me" in front of the camera. And I'm really happy with the results. If you're looking for a photographer, then David's the man!
~James Webb, Actor/Playwright
“With a keen eye and a deep understanding of all aspects of photography, David Wiley never fails to deliver fresh, eye-catching and meaningful photos. His love of photography and attention to detail show through his beautiful and communicative work.”
~Derick Dressel - Former Visual Effects Coordinator for Florida State University's College of Motion Picture, Television & Recording Arts.
To Mr. David Wiley:
Thank you so much for your spectacular work! You exude professionalism, class & grace, which shows through your work.
It is always a pleasure working with you!

“I have found David Barrow Wiley to be a hard worker and loyal friend. We co-created a multimedia piece featuring the development and actualization of five characters and their respective worlds. David both co-directed and photographed this project with expertise. We created a large portfolio of quality photographs over the course of the two-day shoot and the process was smooth, efficient, and enjoyable for myself, the venue, and the models due largely to David's sense of professionalism. I would love to work with David again on future projects and hope I get the opportunity to do so soon.”
