Update to our new studio being built just for us !!

Posted by Andy Mann

TCIfrntWe are getting more and more excited these days as our new studio comes to life. I was just onsite earlier this AM  – it’s been a month – to capture a few progress pics and update our green blog. WOW it’s really coming along nicely. I am very happy with the quality, even at this “rough and ready” stage. It’s going to be great to get in and have this wonderful facility !! Here is the link to the article on our blog covering the building progress. CLICK HERE

Tropical Imaging signs agreement with Extreme Music.

Posted by Andy Mann

Tubridy_495We are so excited that we’ll finally been able to work out an agreement with probably the best music production sources available anywhere. Finding the right music for our projects has always been a challenge. We want to be legal and not use regular music, but at the same time cannot stand budget quality “elevator music” that is available “royalty free”. We think we’ve found the perfect solution….

Miss Turks and Caicos Photo shoot and behind the scenes video

Posted by Andy Mann

MISSTCI09frntFor the last 3 or even 4 years we have been delighted to help the Turks and Caicos Tourist Board with a photo shoot of the contestants for Miss Turks and Caicos (or Miss Earth TCI – I think it is this year?).

We do it for free, it’s fun and the girls are great to work with. This year it’s a little more low-key (naturally) so it was just a quick two-hour shoot near our studio and on Grace Bay Beach.

New posts on our “green building” blog

Posted by Chris Mann

digger on construction siteDon’t forget to check out the latest posts over on our “green building” blog – documenting the construction of our new purpose-built office and studio, which is now two weeks into the build.

Not only will it give us a lot more space and a proper studio area, but it’s going to be the first building in Turks & Caicos constructed with the aim of being as eco-friendly and energy-efficient as possible, within the limits of local building codes (there are some materials we can’t use because of the need to withstand hurricanes, for example).

We’re posting regular updates, including photos and video – you can find the blog at www.brilliant.tc/greenbuilding. There’s also a link in the sidebar at right.

We never stop learning… engage09 conference

Posted by Andy Mann

engage-frntLearning is a fundamental part of Tropical Imaging. It’s part of our DNA. We love new techniques, new ideas, new ways of doing things whether it’s in Photoshop, with the camera or on a bigger scale using multimedia and movies to tell your story. Aside from the technical “how can we do it better” side of the company we also have the marketing and “business side” and I recently went to the Cayman Islands to attend engage09 – a small but powerful wedding conference with some of the top people in the industry. What did I learn? Who did I see and meet?

We’re going to be “Brilliant”!!

Posted by Chris Mann

brilliant_thumbOnce upon a time, there was a company called “Fish Frames”, which specialized in underwater photography and video. As it grew, and started doing more and work on dry land instead of underwater, it took on a new name and became “Tropical Imaging”. And that name’s worked very well for our business over the last ten or more years.

But sometimes people call us “Tropical Images”, or the phone rings and we get someone asking for “Tropical Shipping” or “Tropical Car Rental”, so we felt we needed a new distinctive and easy-to-remember name for our wedding and portrait photography. And although Tropical Imaging describes what we do and where we are, it doesn’t really convey the fun and excitement that we try to bring to our work… Read the rest of this entry »
