Toby is one of Australia’s most respected and sought-after portrait and lifestyle commercial photographers in Australia.
He grew up surrounded by influential Australian artists including Charles Blackman and Margaret Olley, which goes a long way to explain his talent for creating an instant rapport with people.
Toby has a unique ability to tell a story in a single frame. His signature style is marked by a sensuality, fluid composition and masterful use of natural light, making his images instantly recognisable.
This artist’s work transcends traditional lifestyle photography. Instead, he captures the diversity of the human condition and stories that resonate deeply with the Australian psyche.
He finds the extraordinary in the ordinary. Glimpses of joy, vulnerability, and authenticity in the everyday. Whether it’s a hidden moment between two lovers, a fleeting moment of introspection, or the frenetic energy of urban life.
Toby brings an energy and enthusiasm to set that’s contagious. His ability to blend artistic vision with commercial appeal makes him a client favourite too, working with some of Australia’s most iconic brands including Qantas, Westpac, Telstra and Nestle.
