Troy Tanner | A bit about me.
Hi! I'm the media production lead for RealNZ, Cardrona, and Treble Cone, where I'm fortunate enough to merge my work with my passion—creating and producing content amidst the stunning landscapes of mountains and fiords.
When I'm not at my day job, I’m busy with freelance photography and videography, dabbling in everything from traditional shoots to capturing exciting footage with FPV drones. My camera is a constant companion, even on vacations.
I never planned on becoming a photographer. It was an unexpected journey that began with my love for adventure, exploration, and the thrill of new experiences. Initially, my camera was just a tool to document these moments, but it quickly grew into something more. Now, each photo is a souvenir—a vivid reminder of the adventures I've had and the stories I've lived. My philosophy is simple: if a photograph isn't striking enough to hang on my wall, then it's back to the drawing board. This standard drives my creative process, ensuring that each piece not only preserves a memory but also holds a place of pride as an artwork.
I strive to create images that aren't just stored away but are displayed, shared, and revisited—each one a portal to a fond memory and a spark of nostalgia.
The Rusty Toothbrush side of me.
A huge part of my life involves working with a video production company named Rusty Toothbrush. They specialise in making snowboard movies and other winter-based visual content for various brands, ski resorts and advertising agencies.
We travel the world following professional snowboarders as they do what they do best and we are there, camera in hand to capture it all.
