I worked with Toby last week whilst i was in london.

Toby had some great ideas for the shoot and pre communications were brilliant. He was really enthused throughout the shoot and was professional throughout. Toby works hard to get the shots he is after and i would definitely work with him again in the future.

Highly recommended.

I had a great time working with Toby this past Friday. He contacted me for a shoot a few months before I arrived in the UK from NYC. He had a great idea in mind and sent mood boards to go along with it and to help with styling. He was in good contact with me all the way up until our shoot and he even picked me up from the train station.

He booked a full day studio shoot which we got at least 10 outfits in. He was easy to work with, friendly and has a real passion for his work. I am looking forward to working with him again in the future and I would highly recommend him.

Toby booked me first for a shoot at my home, then for a full day at a studio in Brentford last month to work on a series of fashion shots from an excellent moodboard he had put together. Toby is creative, chatty with a great sense of humour and someone who is eager to learn fast. Thoroughly enjoyed both days and all the styling had to offer and add to the sets we created.. highly recommended! x

I had a super last minute shoot with Toby due to him having a cancellation so I jumped in there to shoot! I applied to his casting which was for later that day. Toby made it really easy for me to prepare by emailing all the information I needed in one go such as the location, travel and even different outfit ideas. This was super helpful as I had 5 minutes to pack and leave the house to get the train! Great organisation meant getting awesome results even on a last minute booking. You can see the photos from out shoot in his colour album. Super planning and communication! Of course a pleasure to work with on the shoot and kept checking up on me to make sure I was happy. Keep an eye on his portfolio! Toby is very good at what he does!

I had a fantastic shoot with Toby on Friday. Pre-communication was efficient and clear. We had so many concept choices, we literally ran out of time! Not only did Toby take care with the varying lighting set ups (including gels), we managed to conjure up some crazy ideas along the way. Professional, polite and passionate, definitely a photographer to shoot with.

Look forward to working together again!

Thank you

Oh my goodness-what an amazing shoot! Toby was an absolute pleasure to work with, communication before and during was perfect allowing good flow and a real collab feel, ensuring I felt at my best at all times! Direction during the shoot I found particularly helpful, I felt totally at ease and so was able to really let my hair down so to speak, whilst having total trust in our team work-these are crucial points for me to be able to model at my best. If you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with Toby, my advice would be to jump at it, before he is fully booked! I certainly hope to be shooting again in the near future :) Thank you for booking me (and of course for the almost compulsory Jaffa cakes to!! ;) Nix X

I had a full day shoot with Toby last weekend at my place. It had only been a few weeks since our first shoot but it was great to have him back so we could shoot again- but for longer this time :)

Toby had a shoot plan and inspiration images to go with it which I always like! We fitted everything on it and more into the time but still made sure we had enough breaks and 'chat time' We got some cracking images- making the most of the left over autumn leaves before it rained on us too much!

Toby is super to work with, laid back, fun and also willing to play about with ideas and listen to my crazy ones ;)

I hope I can work with Toby again some time! Thank you, Toby :)

Had another great shoot with Toby a few weeks ago at Artista studios. We worked through the four hours using coloured gels.

He nailed the lighting so we went through a verity of different outfits and colours to experiment with the different looks the combinations of colours created.

Toby is a really easy person to work with, polite, friendly and chatty throughout the day making the time fly by!

Highly recommended by me and I would love to work with him again

I have worked with Toby twice now once on a studio day and another on a 1:1 training day with Adrian Crook.

Toby is such a delight to work with, well mannered, enthusiastic and professional person. It is great to see Toby get better and better in his photography and I will look forward in seeing more of his work in the coming months :)

I am happy to recommend Toby to other models and creatives out there, thanks for a great shoot.

I had a lovely shoot with James at The Cottage Studio on my model day. He was easy to work with and very patient and he wanted to get everything perfect all the time lighting wise and he managed to do it.

I enjoyed working together

Highly recommended

Another fantastic shoot with Toby again and it just keeps getting better and better !!

We really went out there yesterday and got some flawless images

Toby's enthusiasm and willing to achieve the best means the best is what you get

When I say I could shoot with Toby every day I mean it ! Such a gentleman throughout , very understanding , fun to working with and easy to talk to through a half day shoot

I can't recommend or sing Tony's praises high enough and really think a lot more models should be grabbing this photographer before he gets fully booked !!

Thanks again Toby and I look forward to doing a location shoot with you soon 😀😀😀😀

I had a half day shoot at my place with Toby just yesterday and we had a hugely productive and fun shoot.

Toby had some rough themes/ genres to focus on and we kind of rolled with it- working together on ideas and getting some fantastic results.

Toby was happy to try out my random ideas and was very open to my suggestions which was great. We fitted a lot into the time but it didn't feel rushed at all. I can't wait to see the results.

Toby was easy to work with- friendly, laid back and a polite. The time went past really quickly and I hope I can work with Toby again one day! Thank you, Toby :)

Prompt, helpful and ease to get on with. We only need to get one shot and he worked well under lighting and time pressure.

I had a wonderful 3-hour tuition session with Toby today. He gave some great ideas about what he wanted to achieve in pre-comms, and was really enthusiastic and keen to learn on the day. He asked all the right questions and took on information from myself as well as the teacher and was not afraid to push himself, which resulted in some beautiful images. I'd be delighted to work with Toby again and don't hesitate in recommending him to others.

Had a great shoot with Toby on Saturday. He was very friendly, knew what he wanted to achieve but was open to ideas and flexible as too what was and wasn't working. His pre-communication was impeccable and I also couldn't fault his communication on set - he was very open and considerate and generally just a great person to be around. It was obvious how keen Tony is to learn photography both technically and as an art form and this was very refreshing. Highly recommended.

Must,must,must shoot with Toby again at some point! :D

Very talented, polite and easy to get along with.

Toby booked me on my recent tour down to Aylesbury and came prepared with ideas in his mind and captured them beautifully.

An absolute pro at head-shots, gave great direction when needed. I felt totally comfortable working with him and would highly recommend him to other models.

Toby has a great eye for detail and style and I am certain he will only get better and better and will be swamped with model interest before too long.

Thank you again for such a fantastic morning :)

I had the great pleasure of meeting and working with Toby yesterday on my studio day at Big Shot Studio.

Toby is really easy to get along with and talk to. He is very keen to build his portfolio and it was great to be able to bounce ideas off him. We focused on natural light and also some edgy fashion lighting and I have to say the results on the back of the camera look awesome!

Toby is respectful, interesting, engaging and friendly... The time simply flew by!

I highly recommend Toby and hope we get the chance to work together again in the future!

I had my first shoot with Toby today and what can I say ...

What a great guy! He was on time and turned up with a bag of sweets drinks and snacks ! Every models dream

We started out shooting and conversation flew easily and we had lots of ideas to try out :)

I would highly recommend all models to work with toby as he's a great guy and you'll get great results ! He doesn't push you too hard and let's you have breaks to touch up makeup/ have a smoke / something to eat or drink so your well looked after which makes for a more relaxing shoot and better images :)

I hope to work with Toby lots in the future and think everyone else should too :) thanks again xxx

Had a brilliant 3 hour session with Toby today at the cottage studio.

We did a mix of fashion, portraits and dance type shots, each set working really well.

Toby was really easy to chat to and work with being friendly and professional throughout the day.

We bounced off ideas off each other and overall the day was highly productive and successful.

Would recommend Toby to any model, thanks for a great day :)
