David is an amazing photographer! Since the first image I saw of his, the newspaper walls and him making a funny face, I've been hooked. He breezed through his 365 with each photo being nothing less than spectacular and continues to grow and expand his ideas even now. His photographs have both the technical skill which is spot on but great ideas as well. He is a fantastic artist and I continue to look forward to where is photos will take him.

The first time I got to see David's work was during the first weeks of his '365 Days' project. The next time I viewed his photostream, about eight months later, I couldn't believe the huge progress he had achieved!

The first time I got to see David's work was during the first weeks of his '365 Days' project. The next time I viewed his photostream, about eight months later, I couldn't believe the huge progress he had achieved! I was baffled at his dedication towards his challenge and his ability to carefully create a concept through an unique perspective, paying close attention to the little details and colors. I continuously find myself browsing through David's work when I'm out of inspiration, and every time I look at one of his photos I notice a detail or aspect that I didn't catch at first sight, because that's how impressive his work is. And apart from being so talented and determined he is also one of the nicest and down-to-earth people on flickr. I believe that he has the talent to go as far as he wants :)

Today I was in school and I was showing my friend your photostream. The entire time that he was looking at your photos, he was in awe! David, your work is an epitome of fine art and hard work. I hope that you continue to grow with your photography and keep your sights set high! You are a continual inspiration to me, t… Read more

I hope that you continue to grow with your photography and keep your sights set high! You are a continual inspiration to me, thank you for that :)

David, I'm writing this basically to tell you again, and let other people know that I admire you so much.. It's awesome to write a testimonial to an artist that really deserves all the best.

David, I'm writing this basically to tell you again, and let other people know that I admire you so much.. It's awesome to write a testimonial to an artist that really deserves all the best. You (without even wanting), influence in a good way many people here on flickr. Some people may copy you, some people may want to be as you, but a lot of people such as me, get inspired and amazed at watching your work. Because there's nothing better to me, than feeling inspired; and your work is inspiring. Thanks to photographers like you, I've explored my creativity and that's made me improve a lot. I'm really looking foward to seeing your future work, you are amazing. -Diego

David, you are one of the very few photographers whose photos literally make my jaw drop. Your work on its own is incredible, but your 365 project is nothing short of phenomenal. To create such detailed, emotional, rich images something I admire so much; and to have done it every day for a year just leaves me in awe. I… Read more

David, you are one of the very few photographers whose photos literally make my jaw drop. Your work on its own is incredible, but your 365 project is nothing short of phenomenal. To create such detailed, emotional, rich images something I admire so much; and to have done it every day for a year just leaves me in awe. I love the fact that every single one of your photos has an intriguing and captivating back story to them; and a rich texture of emotion, drama and basic human instincts. I aspire to be half as inspiring as you are some day, thank you for opening my eyes to a whole other world of photography. All the best, Naomi

I have been watching David's 365 for quite some time now and I am utterly amazed every day by what he creates. Every time I look at one of his photos I find myself thinking 'How the hell is he so good?'

I have been watching David's 365 for quite some time now and I am utterly amazed every day by what he creates. Every time I look at one of his photos I find myself thinking 'How the hell is he so good?' My family knows most of his work because whenever I'm looking at one of his photos I have to call them over and say "Look at this! Isn't it beautiful!" I am so sad to see his 365 come to an end... I think I will honestly have withdrawals when I can't see David's artwork every day. Also I feel like I should say how much David inspires me because I think as an artist that is one of the most incredible things you can do. He inspires me to try new things, to push myself, to learn how to kick ass in photoshop and I think most of all he reminds me to stay connected to what I create. David truly is an artist and I look forward to seeing what else he creates!

David, I think I first came across your work one day while watching some of Brooke Shaden's behind the scene videos on youtube and your speed edit came up on the suggested videos page.

David, I think I first came across your work one day while watching some of Brooke Shaden's behind the scene videos on youtube and your speed edit came up on the suggested videos page. I don't think I even knew who you were or even if you were on flickr or not I just remember being amazing impressed at the amount of effort you put into your day to day pictures but also at the caliber of editing abilities as well. Later on I finally found your stream on flickr and followed in awe as you just continued and continued to grow. The support you recieve here is definitely not shallow on any level. I truly believe that all of these people follow your work because on a very natural level you inspire. Your constant ingenuity is refreshing and each concept you come up with leaves us taken back at their beauty and uniqueness. I probably could have written this the first day I saw your photos but waiting until now has really let me appreciate how great you are as a photographer and person. Keep on doing what you're doing because it's working out! Sincerely, Nick

David, I came here to write this, but I don't even know where to start.

David, I came here to write this, but I don't even know where to start. Since finding your work you have been such a huge inspiration to me and I fall in love with your stream more with each and every upload. You've fast become one of my favourites on Flickr and I always look forward to when your next photo will be up. I can't wait to see the sort of images you'll create in the future, if they're as brilliant as they are now I'm sure they'll be even more mind blowing as time goes on! You really are a true artist and, as I said, so astoundingly inspirational. Rebecca

David Talley has changed the way of taking pictures. His 365 is making people aware of the effort you have to do if you want to be succesfull in photography.

David Talley has changed the way of taking pictures. His 365 is making people aware of the effort you have to do if you want to be succesfull in photography. He shows with every single picture a different story, and the best of all is that you can be the protagonist of this story because you can feel the same feelings that he feels. He influences lot of photographers, and that's only possible because he is a genious. His creativity is from other world, and I know he will go places. I can't wait to see his last picture of his project, the day that he uploads the 365 picture will be an amazing day, because he can look to his whole project and he will see that he has improved with every picture he took. PS: This is my first testimonial and I hope the things I write make sense because I usually make mistakes when I write in English :S Thanks for sharing with us your pictures :) Mario Torres.

well, i don't really write testimonials you know? and i can't believe i haven't written one for you! i remember once looking at your stream and then completely forgetting about it for a while... then, i came across one of your photos on explore and clicked on your name and i was amazed of how many AMAZING and stunning… Read more

Gosh. I don't even know what to say. Because honestly your photographs have just blown me away. You can take anything simple and make it so beautiful.

Gosh. I don't even know what to say. Because honestly your photographs have just blown me away. You can take anything simple and make it so beautiful. You inspire me because you try anything and everything in order to get that photo that you want. You know how to use texture, light, shadow, focus, and composition to benefit your photos rather than hurt them. It feels like you never run out of ideas and I'm constantly coming back to your stream to see the next best thing. You're so multi-layered because you are a master of the conceptual square image, but you can also take such beautiful standard portraits with such amazing lighting. Please never stop taking photos :)

Ok. This was supposed to be a comment but I spent too much time correctiing my English that it can't remain a simple comment. (note: I did not say that my English will be perfect.) Lets get straight to the point please. The way you "set up your scenes" always amazes me.You always put your ideas and very own visi… Read more

Ok. This was supposed to be a comment but I spent too much time correctiing my English that it can't remain a simple comment. (note: I did not say that my English will be perfect.) Lets get straight to the point please. The way you "set up your scenes" always amazes me.You always put your ideas and very own vision first, it seems like you don't even care about "how hard it's going to be to get it right like you imagined". Your photos are always driven by your imagination and only by your imagination and not by the technical obstacles you might encounter. You love photography so much that you don't care about how difficult it can be. Even during the moments when you complain about your 365 and even when you're very hard on yourself, you still produce fantastic art. That's how I immediately recognize a photo by David Talley when I see one: imagination and passion (that and the fact that there's written "David Talley" next to it) And it's both admirable and fascinating. Oh and by the way, I think you're a great human being. Tu vends du rêve David Talley. Merci!

David is amazing and his photos are unbelievable! Every day, when I see he's posted his photo, I get so excited! They're so creative and definitely inspiring! I feel like I could look at one photo for hours because there's so much detail and thought put into it. I am really looking forward to seeing what David does… Read more

This guy... I don't even recall when we first became acquainted with each other's work on flickr.

This guy... I don't even recall when we first became acquainted with each other's work on flickr. All I really remember is the amount of genuine, kind, and constant comments he would leave on my stream (seriously, such a solid flickr contact)! And then what felt like out of nowhere to me, his work exploded in to a variety of concepts. His work is inventive, daring, emotional, thought-provoking, and just generally extraordinary! I was impressed with David from the get go, and now I keep being impressed by him upload after upload. You're going to go far David, no doubt.

The other day I sat down and started at day one of David's 365 project. After literally an hour of reading his stories and seeing his art, it feels like I have known him forever.

The other day I sat down and started at day one of David's 365 project. After literally an hour of reading his stories and seeing his art, it feels like I have known him forever. The way he conveys emotion through his portraits is like nothing I've ever seen before. You want to cry with him when he's sad, and celebrate when he's happy. This kind of raw talent is nearly impossible to find and for that reason, he has become, without a doubt, my number one favorite photographer. You're fantastic. Never forget it! Lori

All you need to know about David Talley: 1.) You WILL get chills looking at his photos 2.) You WILL leave his photostream feeling astounded 3.)

Your day WILL ALWAYS be improved and more inspired after looking at just a fraction of his work David, please just keep doing what you're doing so I can come back time after time and stare dumbfounded at my computer screen over and over again.

I remember discovering David Talley's stream last summer and literally saying 'Wow.' It's really hard to find someone that has so much passion for one thing.

I remember discovering David Talley's stream last summer and literally saying 'Wow.' It's really hard to find someone that has so much passion for one thing. But David would definitely fall into that category. He pushes himself to the limit and steps out of his comfort zone, which is ultimately why he's such a great artist. David has developed into an even better artist since I saw his first photo and I believe he'll continue to develop. If there was an award for the most dedicated person to attempt a 365 project, I would definitely pick David as the winner. It never ceases to amaze me how he has the strength, energy and time to get up daily and create something beautiful, even when it's really hard.

David Talley's pictures never cease to inspire me. I love how his pictures blurs the lines between what's real or fantasy. His photos have such natures tones about them but also bring out of this world results.

David Talley's pictures never cease to inspire me. I love how his pictures blurs the lines between what's real or fantasy. His photos have such natures tones about them but also bring out of this world results. All of his pictures tell a story and leave me wanting to know more about the characters and the situations they are in. His amazing storytelling and emotion evoking photos are breathtaking and are a true inspiration for any photographer. Never stop what you're doing David, your 365 makes me want to work harder as a photographer and your pictures make me strive to improve everyday, great stuff man!

well, if you've seen any of david's work, you will know that he is a genius. he isn't afraid to make very real statements about life and emotion, and expresses those statements through his art. he puts his whole self out on the line for his artwork. though i do not have the pleasure of knowing him very well, david seem… Read more

well, if you've seen any of david's work, you will know that he is a genius. he isn't afraid to make very real statements about life and emotion, and expresses those statements through his art. he puts his whole self out on the line for his artwork. though i do not have the pleasure of knowing him very well, david seems like the guy that knows how to please himself and others at the same time, which can be a very tricky thing for artists to do. he has a very specific style that can be recognized by many. for me, david is an inspiration. considering his young age, he makes me believe that i can achieve all the ambitions that i hold dearly to my heart, even if i'm still a teenager. he makes the impossible seem attainable. thank you, david.

Before I discovered David, I had no idea just how amazing photography can be. I took photos, but then I saw his photos. He opened up a new world for me. He's inspired me to try new things and look deeper at the world around me. There's only a few artists out there who truly inspire me, and this guy is one of them. I'm … Read more

He's inspired me to try new things and look deeper at the world around me. There's only a few artists out there who truly inspire me, and this guy is one of them. I'm always on the edge of my seat waiting to see his next masterpiece, because I know it'll outdo the last one. He's constantly growing! I don't know if he knows this or not, but he gave me courage to step outside my comfort zone in my own self portrait photography, because that's what this whole self portrait thing is about =) Cheers, Touryn.

David is amazing, David is a genius. There are no other words. I can't believe he does a 365 days project with so much creativity and talent each day. It's impossible, but he does it.

I decided to re-write your testimonial because since the time I wrote it, you've developed so much. There's something about your photos that is magical. Each and everyone.

I decided to re-write your testimonial because since the time I wrote it, you've developed so much. There's something about your photos that is magical. Each and everyone. I don't know how you do it David, but I don't think you've ever created a bad photograph. Despite how much you may doubt yourself at times, you should really have a look at how much you are appreciated on here. You are honestly, becoming one of the most inspiring photographers on this site. I hate that your 365 is slowly coming to an end, because watching you grow, and learning more about you through the stories that your photos tell is something I, and many others, look forward to every day. You are ridiculously talented. Without a doubt, you inspire me most. Oh & maybe one day you can take photos of me? You are never alone, David.

David is one of the nicest and most talented people on Flickr. I've been watching his photostream for quite a while now and thought he deserves another testimonial.

David is one of the nicest and most talented people on Flickr. I've been watching his photostream for quite a while now and thought he deserves another testimonial. His talent is just too incredible to resist, it's obviously well earned. His work never ceases to amaze me, and his comments are always so genuine & interesting to read. I'm glad I got to became friends with him, and to see his improvement strive every day as a photographer portraying his visions of the world into his photos. P.S. David is obviously God in a human body.

okay, first off, you are amazing. i say it just about every comment, but with each picture you produce, it just furthers my point. so, i figured i'd put it into testimonial-form. i don't know the pressure of a threesixfive. i've never attempted one myself. that being said, i suppose i don't have an experience dealing … Read more

okay, first off, you are amazing. i say it just about every comment, but with each picture you produce, it just furthers my point. so, i figured i'd put it into testimonial-form. i don't know the pressure of a threesixfive. i've never attempted one myself. that being said, i suppose i don't have an experience dealing with the pressure of uploading a work of art every day so, i'll admit, i may sound very naive in what i'm about to say (but, i mean every single word): if my completely & totally, simply utterly inspired pictures looked like your "uninspired" pictures, i might just be set for life. i don't know what its like to have to produce such beauty each day, but i know that the way you do it is simply magical. you are honestly one of my biggest inspirations & i'm purdyyy positive you hold this role for many, many others. i love many things about your work, but especially how insanely creative you are & how you translate this into such incredibly emotive work. as opposed to overshadowing the picture, i feel like your editing enhances it, a quality i feel is often times, sadly, lost in today's world of editing. you manage the perfect poses & expressions time & time again, & i really haven't a clue in the world how you do it. David Talley, i do believe you & your work is the essence of magic. -madii.

All the testimonials that you get? All are very much deserved. In fact, I'm unsure why you have such little testimonials when it's obvious that you have such amazing work!

All the testimonials that you get? All are very much deserved. In fact, I'm unsure why you have such little testimonials when it's obvious that you have such amazing work! Also, you improved in such a short time that I my jaw just.. well, it dropped. Your work is very inspirational. Your work is just creative, an amazing use of your imagination, put together in such an amazingly gorgeous and stunning way! Totally makes me jealous! You are no doubt, absolutely talented and full of potential and just an amazing photographer!
