Toby L.

Toby L., honestly, is one of those names that sort of sneaks up on you if you’ve ever found yourself knee-deep in music documentaries. The guy’s fingerprints are all over some of the coolest concert films and behind-the-scenes music stuff from the last few years. You got “Liam Gallagher: Knebworth 22” – that’s a wild ride through the chaos and massive energy of Liam’s big return to Knebworth, you know, the same grounds Oasis once rocked. It’s sweaty crowds, flares going off, and Liam being his usual, swaggering self, all caught through Toby’s lens. Then there’s “Rip Up the Road” with Foals—man, if you’re into the nitty-gritty of being on tour (the exhaustion, the laughs, the weird little moments in cramped green rooms), this one really nails it. It doesn’t sugarcoat anything; it’s just real life, loud and messy and sometimes kind of beautiful. And hey, he went from mosh pits to prom queens with “Olivia Rodrigo: SOUR Prom.” Different vibe, obviously, but still got that raw, unfiltered edge. It’s all jittery nerves and confetti and Olivia belting her heart out surrounded by teenagers who know every word. Basically, Toby L. isn’t just pointing a camera—he’s chasing whatever makes these moments electric, whether it’s a legend stomping through a field or a pop star crowning a new generation. His style? Intimate, a bit chaotic, definitely not boring. You can almost feel the sweat and hear the crowd when you watch his stuff.
