Born in France in 1985, Toneback, whose real name is Nicolas, has always been fascinated by urban landscapes. However, it wasn't until he decided to treat himself to his first camera ten years ago that he discovered a true passion for photography.

At first, Toneback experimented with vibrant colors and visual effects to capture the essence of urban life. But after several years of practice and reflection, he decided to focus exclusively on black and white photography, believing it allowed him to more effectively convey the emotion and depth of his subjects.

Over the years, Toneback has honed his craft and developed a distinct visual signature. His black and white photographs are often characterized by strong contrasts, plays of light and shadow, as well as a particular attention to architectural details and textures.

Beyond his commitment to black and white photography, he is also passionate about the subjects he chooses to photograph. He specializes in urban landscapes, bustling streets, historic buildings, and the people who inhabit these environments. His images often capture intimate moments or scenes from daily life, bringing to life the beauty and complexity of urban living.
