Troy plays with fire and doesn’t get burned. He’s been a commercial photographer for the past three decades specializing in elements like fire and water.

But his ability as an artist who makes pictures doesn’t stop there. Products, liquor, and food—he’s stolen the souls of them all, turning every last image into a perfect work of art.

And if all of that wasn’t enough, Troy can light up every room he walks into. But it’s not because of a captivating ivory smile or a fancy ponytail. He just happens to understand light quality better than anyone in the business.

His meticulous attention to detail and commitment to perfection isn’t too bad either.
