About Twin Waters, QLD

Trade-trained. Camera-led.

Troy Tompkins

Twenty years on tools — carpentry, welding, station work, mine sites — before I went full time behind the camera.

I read a site fast, work clean, and don't get in the way. I know what it's like to have a deadline that doesn't move and a brief that wasn't quite written yet. Most of the shoots I do are agency briefs where the production manager needs someone who turns up, listens, and delivers what was scoped — not someone who needs babysitting.

Based at Twin Waters on the Sunshine Coast. Brisbane in 90 minutes. Gold Coast in just under two hours. I drive further for the right brief.
