In this episode of The Betterment Project podcast, we dive deeper into the life and lens of Cairns Photographer, Toby Stanley. His journey unfolds like a well-composed photograph, capturing moments of growth, inspiration, and resilience.
In this episode, we get to hear about:
From Gilligans to Golden Frames: Toby reminisces about his early days, cutting his teeth as a photographer at Gilligans nightclub.
Nature’s Embrace: Beyond the neon lights, Toby found solace in nature. His love for the outdoors became an integral part of his work/life balance.
Breaking the Routine: Toby’s secret to longevity? Variety. He avoids falling into a photography grind by embracing different themes each week.
Harmonizing Music and Photography: Music pulses through Toby’s veins. Gilligans not only supported his nightclub photography but also allowed him to shoot live music—a parallel passion.
Freelancer’s Struggles: Toby opens up about the stress of freelancing—the uncertainty, the hustle, and the delicate balance between art and commerce.
Editing with Feeling: Toby’s editing process is an art form. He listens to music—sometimes melancholic, other times upbeat—as he weaves stories through his edits.
Join us as we explore the heart behind the lens.
