Meet Toby Angel, a 26-year-old photographer with a passion for skateboarding photography. While he loves capturing the high-flying action and raw energy of skateboarders, he makes his living primarily by photographing Bar and Bat Mitzvahs.
Despite his age, Toby has already established himself as a talented and mature photographer. He approaches each shoot with professionalism and a keen eye for detail, whether he’s capturing the thrill of a skateboarder landing a trick or the joyous celebration of a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.
Growing up, Toby was always drawn to the skateboarding scene. He was fascinated by the way skateboarders fearlessly pushed their limits and defied gravity, and he began taking photos of his friends and fellow skaters as a way to capture those exhilarating moments.
As he honed his photography skills, Toby began to branch out into other areas of photography, including event photography and portraits. He found that he had a natural talent for capturing the excitement and emotion of special occasions, and soon began booking Bar and Bat Mitzvahs on a regular basis.
Despite the stark contrast between his two primary areas of focus, Toby finds that both skateboarding and Bar/Bat Mitzvah photography share a common thread: the importance of capturing moments of pure joy and celebration. Whether he’s documenting the fearless spirit of a skateboarder or the meaningful rite of passage of a young adult, Toby is passionate about using his camera to capture moments that will be treasured for years to come.
