Toby was born in Esslingen in 1977 and studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart.

The same year he received an Honorable Mention at the UNICEF Photo of the Year just as again in 2021. His work is published by Stern, die Zeit, the Guardian, Le Monde, the Washington Post, National Geographic, Greenpeace Magazin, Amnesty Journal, Neue Zürcher Zeitung and others. In 2019 his first photo book "Wee Muckers" was published by Kehrer.
