GOAT RODEO PRODUCTIONS
| GOAT RODEO PRODUCTIONS |
| Goat Rodeo Productions is the collaboration between the photographer and the producer that enables our projects to become reality. Mike Foley handles and oversees all aspects of our shoots from logistics to client management. Responsibility for talent, styling, retouching and everything else that go into making a photo-shoot or motion production successful, fall under his job description. Excerpt from the forward that Michael Vanderbyl wrote for our latest book “RESORTS”“ "Photographic talent is only one part of the equation. A successful practice means good work habits and ably solving the problems that arise on any project." Michael S.Foley, producer, completes the equation. This pair started 20 plus years ago, together logging tens of thousands of miles in the beloved old Land Rover completing editorial assignments for pretty much every magazine you can name. Now it’s planes to luxury resorts worldwide. Chances are their business would not exist at the level it does without Mikey’s uncanny insight and ability. He is calm under fire. He completely understands the client’s needs, the photography, design and the business. He keeps Thom’s eye on the picture. Together, this pair can execute the most complex jobs and I applaud the professionalism they have displayed in our work together.For more than two years, Thom, Mikey and I collaborated on several projects for LXR Luxury Resorts and it was a privilege to work with this dynamic duo. I am honored that Thom and Mike asked me to write this introduction. The photographs reveal a remarkable body of work, a testament to genuine achievement.I want to note that the professional satisfaction I have derived from our collaboration is deepened immeasurably by the personal qualities of Thom and Mikey: curious, insightful, intelligent, humorous (very humorous), but always grounded in a professional work ethic.I am certain that you will find unforgettable images in this book. Enjoy. |
