Tristan Viney is a Sydney-based portrait photographer with eight years of creative and technical experience, blending a background in advertising, copywriting and full‑stack development into his photographic practice. He transitioned from roles at Ogilvy and other agencies into creative director and developer positions before founding Troopl and moving into full-time freelance photography, giving him a rare mix of narrative, visual and technical fluency. Tristan’s work benefits from formal training in screen and advertising, a coding bootcamp mindset from Le Wagon, and early hands-on camera technician experience, so he approaches portrait sessions with both aesthetic storytelling and production rigor. Comfortable wearing founder, director and maker hats, he excels at creating polished imagery that communicates brand and personality. An appetite for cross-disciplinary projects suggests he’s as likely to build a custom booking workflow as he is to craft a striking headshot.
