“What I particularly enjoy about shooting at Troy's is the opportunity to capture exactly what we want. One huge advantage with Animals of Montana is the variety of habitats and looks available, Troy doesn't use permanent enclosures, so there's little chance of shooting the same subject in the same setting. While wild animals can be less cooperative than one would like, those times are rare and what everyone is surprised by, and usually awed by, is Troy's incredible rapport with his animals."

"The Animals of Montana experience was fantastic. Tracy and Troy are great hosts. Tracy made sure my trip would be memorable by helping me plan my stay. Troy is terrific with the animals. He made sure each photographer in the group got the perfect shot. All the animals have pristine coats and that special spark in their eyes. I highly recommend Animals of Montana."

"I have enjoyed working with Animals of Montana over the years. Tracy and Troy have been extremely professional in all of our dealings. Working with animals on any production always presents challenges, but the team at Animals of Montana makes life allot easier for the producer. I can always count on them to stay on schedule and budget. If your production involves animals, I recommend calling Animals of Montana as early as possible. Their input regarding budget, schedule and creative elements will be invaluable."
Walter Josten
"We highly recommend Animals of Montana. My husband and I spent two wonderful and productive days with Troy's fantastic animals. I am a professional artist and I've sold several paintings already done from my trip and have many, many more great ideas just waiting to be painted!"

Dick Forehand
"I spent a fun and exciting three days in July at Animals of Montana photographing cats. These animals are beautiful, healthy and as well behaved as wild animals can be, thanks to expert and loving training of their handler and owner of the animal photographing business, Troy Hyde. I was impressed. I came away with some great reference material and several ideas for new sculptures!"
Rosetta
"Troy has a good knowledge of the needs of photographers; like lighting, actions, distances, catch lights, etc. He also tries to accommodate special requests while also maintaining a good group atmosphere. It is easy to take great photo's working with Troy."
Richard Blanchette
"It was a pleasure working with Animals of Montana on my photo tour to Moab. They understood the photographers needs, and your choice of locations and lighting were right on. Even more than I expected. I went home with the satisfaction of knowing I got what I came for. Thanks for making it a great trip."
