Toby moved to New York City in 2005 after graduating from film school. Eager to learn cinematography, he would bicycle around the city, look for film shoots, find the electric truck and ask for a job. After being repeatedly turned down, his dedication finally landed him a gig as an additional electrician on an indie film. A few years and many jobs later, he joined I.A.T.S.E. Local 52 where he worked on a range of films, TV shows and commercials. His credits as an electrician include 30 Rock, Boardwalk Empire and Orange is the New Black.
While working on large productions Toby began shooting stills in his free time to satisfy his creative hunger. He found that shooting still images, without the weight of a cast and crew gave, allowed him to capture unique moments in a way that video production had not.
He currently resides in Los Angeles where he enjoys exploring its urban nature with his wife and rescue pup.
