ABOUT

Troy E. Vail

I have been taking beautiful photographs for over 30 years. Only recently did I decide to offer my photographs for sale and publication.

My parents were both award winning photographers. At an early age my mother mandated “There is no reason for you to not know how to take good pictures!” I learned on my mother’s Yashica A twin lens reflex camera, a camera that I inherited from her and use on rare occasions to this day. My logo includes a wireframe of a Yashica A as a tribute to my mother’s teachings.

I am currently working as the Innovation Technology Manager for the Pacific Battleship Center home of USS Iowa (BB-61). This position has allowed me to take some amazing photographs of USS Iowa (BB-61) and other military ships.
