Phillip Toledano was born in 1968 in London, to a French Moroccan mother and an American father. He grew up in London and Casablanca.
He received a BA in English literature from Tufts University in Boston. His art education came from his father, who was a full-time artist. Toledano considers himself a conceptual artist: Everything starts with an idea, and the idea determines the execution. Consequently, his work varies in medium, ranging from photography to installation, sculpture, painting and video.
Toledano’s photographs have been presented internationally and a major retrospective exhibition was mounted at the House of Photography Deichtorhallen for the Hamburg Triennale 2015 in Germany. To date, Phillip Toledano has published seven monographs of his work.
Additionally, his work has appeared in: Vanity Fair, The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, Esquire, GQ, Wallpaper, The London Times, The Independent Magazine, Le Monde, and Interview, amongst others.
