About Tom Foley Photography

Being a Minneapolis commercial photographer can be very rewarding due to the rich tapestry of people, products and the premier investment opportunities surrounding the Twin Cities. Not only is this city a driving force in theatre and the arts, but also it manages to build and sustain strong small businesses side by side with significant global corporations.

Many opportunities present themselves within this cultural and economic environment? One day, I may shoot an emerging band’s CD cover, giving the band the strong image they need to forge forward in the competitive music industry. The next day, I may shoot a concert violinist.

Only a Minneapolis commercial photographer, born and bred in the twin cities, will have the special feel for First Avenue to the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, needed to give these different types of musicians the special pop needed for this market.

Similarly, I may also have the opportunity to shoot a new medical device, designed by a Minnesota company, and ready to resonate across the globe; or a new menu item for a restaurant; or I may photographically illustrate a book of children’s stories. I enjoy all of these types of projects in Minneapolis.

With each, I bring an understanding of the person, object or product being photographed, combined with a keen eye to detail and over 30 years of experience that find the most time and cost effective method to take strong images and thus bring the “product” to market faster. Perhaps most importantly, however, as an independent, I bring genuine enthusiasm to each project, the sort often missing from those employed by a large agency where the push is simply to complete the project as quickly and simply as possible. I spend the time necessary from the beginning with my clients to bring each person, product or investment opportunity to life. I bring the touch of an artist to every image I make.
