Toby Nowlan
Toby Nowlan’s got a thing for nature, that’s for sure. If you've seen “Our Planet” or “Dancing with the Birds,” you know his fingerprints are all over those jaw-dropping visuals—the kind that make you want to ditch your phone and go outside for once. The man just gets it. Seriously, who else could make a bird’s goofy mating dance feel like the most important thing happening on Earth? Now, with “Ocean” (yeah, the one with David Attenborough, coming in 2025), he’s diving even deeper (pun intended) into the wild world of, well, the wild.
What sets Toby apart? It’s not just about pretty shots of waves and feathers. He’s got this knack for making you care about some random fish or a neon bird you’ve never heard of. You’ll find yourself rooting for a fish to escape a predator or tearing up when a baby flamingo takes its first wobbly step. The stories he tells aren’t just about animals—they’re about survival, weirdness, beauty, and, honestly, the pure chaos of nature doing its thing.
He teams up with legends like Attenborough, sure, but Toby’s style shines through: immersive, sometimes cheeky, always jaw-dropping. Whether it’s the absurd drama of a rainforest or the silent suspense under the waves, he’s got a way of pulling you into these hidden worlds. You walk away actually caring about the planet, which, let’s be honest, is kind of refreshing. Toby Nowlan’s work? It’s like a love letter to life on Earth, and you can’t help but read every word.
