Toby Shaw is a fashion and portrait photographer known for his dynamic and raw portraiture style using medium film format. He has worked with numerous celebrities and his editorials have appeared in various publications such as Vogue, AIM, Blurred and Vegan Life. 

Born in Hastings, in 1992, Shaw’s passion for photography began at a young age, documenting skateboarding excursions. As an avid skateboarder himself he had the essential dexterous skills to respond to the beauty of the subculture and the relationship between the subject and surrounding urban architecture. This inspired an interest in capturing the aesthetic qualities of beauty, characteristic of the human form. 

During a BA Honours degree in Photography at The University of Roehampton, Shaw was awarded an internship at British Vogue Art Department where he spent most of his time in the Vogue library, resourcing inspiration for his first major exhibition, The Shadow Series.
