BEHIND THE BUSINESS COMPANION…
I’m Toby, aka Headshot Toby, Photographer and friendly challenger of your brand blind spots who believes that good business advice shouldn’t sound like a LinkedIn buzzword generator.
I’ve worked with hundreds of founders, leaders, creatives and business owners to help them show up with clarity and confidence, not just through brilliant photography & videography, but by getting behind the lens of what really makes them stand out. And The Business Companion is to do just that - to champion real, useful, insight-packed stories from people doing business differently (and doing it well).

Got Something To Say?
Let’s hear it!
Become a contributor
The Business Companion thrives on real voices, real stories, and real advice. If you’ve navigated a challenge, nailed your niche, or have a fresh take that could help fellow business owners show up and stand out, we want you in!
This isn’t about self-promo. It’s about shared value.
We’re building a platform for people who actually know what they’re talking about, and want to help others do better, be braver, and grow.
If that sounds like you, let’s talk.
You bring the insight, we’ll bring the audience (and the good lighting).
