About
Founded in 2017 by Director Alec McCloskey, The Tropics started with a simple focus: tell great stories alongside great people.
Since then, we’ve shot across pretty much every category out there. Cars, kids’ toys, fashion brands, community charities. On paper, those projects look completely different. But the thread that holds them together is always the same: finding a true human connection that speaks directly to your audience.
We genuinely believe a great performance unlocks so much more than just good content. When someone on screen feels comfortable and authentic, the work lands on a deeper level. It resonates, builds trust, and creates lasting rapport for your brand long after the screen goes dark.
“One of the key things that stands out when working with Alec is that he is not just doing his job; he is fully emotionally invested in what he is working on, no matter the subject. You are always working with him.
I value his advice not only on the best way to capture the moment but also on how to improve it, how the story can grow, and what we can do to make it better.
There are many people out there who just point and shoot. They have great technological ability, and you can give them very clear direction to capture exactly what you want. However, there is also a special type of person who can truly think outside the box, think ahead, adapt, evolve, and push you and the project to be better. The project becomes more than yours, and so does the vision. When you work with people like Alec, he brings out the best in you and the entire team. That’s what makes it special; that’s what a true storyteller is.”
