Toby Jorrin prides himself on carefully and empathetically making images of real people in real moments, as they happen. He is inspired to photograph the world as it exists rather than to create a fantasy in the studio.

He was staff photographer at the Albuquerque Tribune from 1996 to 2005. Previously, he interned at the Tribune, Time magazine, the Connecticut Post, the Ithaca Journal, and Gamma Press Images. He holds a BA from Cornell University and did his graduate work at the University of Missouri School of Journalism. He is a graduate of Barnstorm--the Eddie Adams Workshop--and the Platypus Workshop. He was the digital lab manager and course assistant for the Maine Photographic workshops in Havana, Cuba. He has won awards for his photography in the New Mexico Press Association and AP Managing Editors contests, and has shared in several Pictures of the Year and Best of Photography awards.

Since turning freelance, he has photographed for editorial and corporate clients such as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the Dallas Morning News, the Houston Chronicle, the Associated Press, the Annie E Casey Foundation, and the United Way.

Jorrin is a professional member of the National Press Photographers Association and the American Society of Media Photographers.


He lives in Washington, DC.
