I might not know from where the cold wind blows, but I know what I like and I dig your work. You can take that to the bank on your way mental baby! Don't go, Don't go yet, it's wonderful stuff.

Translated from Russian-
Esthete does not simply the one who consider beauty the highest ideal, but its true adorer - essence, which possesses taste and which assumes excellent “religious” idol. Esthete - thinned fan of beauty. Beauty will blind esthete, it makes it necessary to choke and to kneel. And in this sense the following photographs Of fantasy Of life -Francis A Willey truly the aestheticism, since of their inhabitant - this no longer of woman, but the symbolic clusters of air, water and rest, specters. Photographer does not fix them. He overindulges by them.

It's truly beautiful and legitimizes photography as an art. With all the trashy "fashion photography" floating around and unexciting commercial stuff that I do on a regular basis for magazines and print I've forgotten why I even like to be photographed at all. Your work has just reminded me that it's because once in a great while there's a chance to be part of the creation of an image like yours, where a woman's body or face can be sexy in a softer, subtle way rather than so harshly presented as an object. So thanks.

Love & Light
SYLVIA ALENA ARDEN (Singer,Songwriter,international Top Model)
Your music tells a story.. Just the same as your amazing images!!
Theres no way that your music would exist without your photographs and your photographs without your music..
Its like a relationship of two people which were born for each other..
Like a hug ..
Love..
Like a food for soul..
Thank you:-)

Francis A Willey's work is touched with both imagination and illumination. He has the talent of bringing out of the intrinsic aspect of the subject, drawing its natural light and color, turning
the somewhat still object into a visionary interpretation of what lies in all things. Francis has the ability to take what is already alive and capture it perfectly, but also bring to life what most may see as a seemingly average setting or material.
