He has an impassioned interest in colour and film emulation, consistently focused towards enhancing emotion and story. Everything in service of the work, always.

He regularly collaborates with globally respected, multi-format directors and DoPs who are the best in their field.

Over a decade of experience has earned him high-profile commercial clients; from BMW and Aston Martin to Lloyds and Amstel, as well as a significant role in award-winning TV shows such as the hugely successful BAFTA winning, Emmy nominated Netflix/Channel 4 series ‘The End of the F***ing World’, Channel 4's BAFTA winning 'We Are Lady Parts', Netflix's multi-EMMY-winning 'Heartstopper', and AMC/BBC’s critically acclaimed 'This Is Going To Hurt'. He just completed ‘Great Expectations’ for FX/BBC, Netflix’s ‘Obsession’, and is now working on ‘Eric’, also for Netflix.

Toby also has a portfolio of feature films, including ‘As I Am', BIFA-winning ‘The Machine’, and ‘Stutterer’ which won the Oscar for best short. His other recent and notable projects include commercial work for Porsche, Samsung and McDonald's.
