TOBY RONEY

Toby Roney is an award winning photographer, filmmaker and expedition specialist
with a focus on the outdoors and the people who are drawn to wild places. He has
created work for brands including Arc’teryx, Garmin and YETI, and his imagery has
appeared in publications such as Red Bull Bulletin, The New York Times, The Guardian
and Sidetracked Magazine. He is sponsored by Peli Cases and Enduristan.
A sense of curiosity, enthusiasm and commitment to adventure runs through Toby’s
work. He has documented expeditions across the world, from filming in minus twenty
seven degree storms on Iceland’s Vatnajökull ice cap to mountaineering alpine ridges in
the Alps. In 2025 he joined Ed Jackson in the Tien Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan to
document a world first ascent of an unclimbed 4720m peak. He also served as director
of photography for Generation Shegeng, an Arc’teryx documentary charting the rapid
rise of climbing culture in China.
Toby is trusted to operate in environments where conditions are demanding and self
sufficiency is essential. Whether working from helicopters over erupting volcanoes, solo
shooting for twenty two hours on technical terrain or managing drones, sound and
camera as a single operator, he brings adaptability, calmness and a clear sense of
narrative. His skillset is supported by a wide range of field qualifications including CAA
authorised drone operations with A2 CofC and Ofqual Level 4, outdoor first aid,
avalanche awareness, winter mountain planning, Level 1 IRATA rope access,
paragliding, powerboat handling, scuba diving and both UK driving and motorbike
licences. These capabilities allow him to work safely and effectively across land, sea
and air in challenging environments
