Troika Photos was founded in July 2000 by Picture Editor Bridget Coaker and Photographer Michael Walter. Combining experience in Editorial and Fine Art, this small ambitious agency publishes both domestically and internationally, and specializes in large scale projects, most recently the new international terminal at St Pancras.
Alongside her work with Troika Bridget is also a picture editor on a national newspaper and a major international news magazine. Recently she curated the Hereford 2008 Photography Festival, which brought together her passions for photojournalism and Fine Art photography. Previously she was Head of Picture Syndication at the Press Association and before that the London Bureau Chief of Australian Consolidated Press. Read her blog here.
Michael has worked extensively in Former Yugoslavia during and after the civil war, in Sudan, Zambia, Libya, Chad and Iran and on commission for the Guardian in Iraq. Commissioned work has always been an important part of Troika's work. In particular the refurbishment of St Pancras gave Michael an opportunity to pursue his interest in bigger set piece pictures, which resulted in shooting advertisements for Eurostar. His Fine Art projects can be seen on his website.
Central to all we do is the belief in the value of pictures, whether it is supplying images for a client or shooting them speculatively for editorial. We are always willing to discuss ideas so please get in touch.
Our newest venture will launch in the spring. Called Troika Editions, it is a new and exciting online gallery championing contemporary photography. Troika Editions will showcase some of the most interesting contemporary photographers. Every week we will present three carefully chosen images available as limited edition prints from as little as £35. Sign up at the holding page for more information and a special offer.
