Filmmaker/Still Photographer seeks networking opportunities with photographers, models and make-up artists.
It began as personal challenge to study the fundamentals of digital photography and further my skills as a filmmaker. My fascination with composition, exposure, art direction, and lighting design became an obsession. That obsession became Higher Power Images.
I am grateful to the many actors, models, artists and dancers who became willing subjects to my photographic studies. Their generosity of spirit and breathtaking beauty are gifts from a Higher Power and make the process of photography a joyous experience.
Please, no buddy requests without communication (e.g., tag, comment, email or some other professional connection)
Peace and Blessings,
DBW

"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."

"After collaborating on a variety of projects, I have much appreciation for David Wiley's trust in my competence. He understands the value of precise deadlines, outlining parameters and allowing me, as an artist, to assert my judgment and creativity. He has a keen awareness of how to offer constructive criticism and push tasks forward. Time and again I was impressed by his energetic ability to motivate others, as well as provide a stabilizing calm in chaotic situations. A thoughtful listener and communicator, David is rarely mired in debates about who is right, choosing instead to focus on what is right for the production."
