JAMES R WILEY

CEO, Cinematographer & Talent Representative

James is a multi-award winning cinematographer and director. He's known as the founder of the narrative dance music video genre - a format which elevates the story through the synergy of dance with narration and music. He was educated at UNCSA's renowned School of Filmmaking.

James creates film and photography for the modeling world, in addition to shooting and directing music videos. He specializes in visuals which involve action and speed.

His position as Digital Media Producer at Charlotte Ballet, he states, "I believe Dance brings inspiration! Dance doesn't just move the dancers. It also moves the audience ... sometimes to another place or time, and sometimes to a renewed, soul-stirring perspective about their own aspirations."

His work has premiered on Rolling Stone and AfroPunk.
