Troy currently makes his home in Calgary Alberta Canada with his wife Desiree and two dogs.
An avid painter and sketch artist since childhood, he started taking photos in University, first with P&S film cameras and then finally with a SLR in 2000. In 2006 Troy moved into the digital age with a Canon XTi. He now shoots with a Canon 5D.
He has traveled and photographed extensively throughout Canada as well as in Brasil, Argentina, Puerto Rico, Great Britain, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Tanzania and Rwanda.

Photographically Troy is interested in creating images that are compelling and truthful. A Biologist by training, he believes that the diversity of imagery streaming onto monitors around the world, while being amazing in it's scope and complexity, can lead to a type of emotional miscarriage. Troy feels that in a complex world, true beauty is often best expressed by taking things down to their lowest common denominator. Like in science...eliminating confounding factors is necessary to increase the power of the observation...the same should hold true for photography.
