About Me
Welcome
Welcome to my website. I am Terry Sweeney and Photography is definitely my passion in life. I have been living and working in Montana basically my entire life and taking photographs for well over 30 years.
During the day, I am the CFO for a large farm & agricultural based co-op. Our core group of customers is made up of Farmers and Ranchers, that help Feed the World. Being a co-op we return the profits back to the members (love this part of what I do).
When not performing those duties, I have the opportunity to live in Southwest Montana and pursue my passion of photography. I am also in the fortunate position of not having to sell my artwork in high volume to pay my bills. My focus is on quality not quantity.
"The WHY?" Why I do what I do ....
This is when I get to the Why!
I have always been drawn to photography. My father gave me my first 35 mm camera and that was the beginning. It took me a number of years and thousands of shots before I began capturing the images you see here on my site.
One of my goals is to create interesting and unique fine art photography. I want to create art that has meaning to me. Then I get to share the beauty that I capture with you.
I strive to create what I call "100 year images". These are images that people 100 years from now will still be enjoying. They will see what our slice of the world looked like while we were here.
My favorite locations are the National Parks, primarily Yellowstone, Teton, Glacier and everywhere in between.
My favorite subjects seem to be Barns and Bears ... and all the incredible wildlife and scenery that Montana and the Rocky Mountains have to offer.
My co-pilot Jackson (see pic) rides shotgun and handles security. I handle the driving and scouting for bears.
I once read that you should buy art that moves you and that you have a personal connection to in some way. Art you want to look at everyday, perhaps brings you joy.
Since I have the time to invest in each order that I receive, I ensure that everything is 100% perfect with your order.
Let me help you beautify your home or office.

Terrence Sweeney Photography proudly introduces a new image : "Robert frost reflection"
"Robert Frost Reflection"
Inspired by the 1994 classic movie "The Shawshank Redemption", this tree reminds me of something out of a Robert Frost poem. A tree that looks like it doesn't belong there, yet does. A tree that protects history's secrets within it's branches. Scenic & Nature Photography by Terrence Sweeney Photography.
New Image : "Paradise Valley"
Paradise Valley is located in Southwest Montana and serves as the Gateway to Yellowstone National Park. In the spring, the valley floor glows green while the Absaroka Mountains holds onto some late season snow in the upper peaks.

Any sense of danger will cause the little cubs to huddle around Momma Bear for safety. It created a wonderful moment that lasted just an instant, before the cubs rambled off exploring again.

"The Farmer's Angel"
Sometimes I see angels in the clouds. An angel forms through the heavenly clouds to say a prayer for our farmers of the world. They provide the food that feeds the world and are the stewards of the land. Amen.

"The Granary" The Spanish Peaks and Big Sky Montana create a beautiful winter backdrop in this image that captures the spirit of Montana.

"The Encounter" | Yellowstone Herd Bull Elk | Yellowstone National Park
