Mike Toy is a Barbados-based photographer specialising in architecture and interiors, capturing buildings and spaces at their most honest and atmospheric. His work celebrates natural light — the subtle shifts, shadows, and highlights that transform a subject throughout the day.

He has photographed over five hundred of the Caribbean’s most prestigious private homes, hotels and resorts, with his work featured in Architectural Digest, Condé Nast Traveller, and The Sunday Times. His images have also found their way into global brand collections, including acquisitions by IKEA.

Mike approaches each project with a calm, instinctive eye, seeking the perfect balance between structure and soul. Alongside his architectural work, he also photographs aerial, fashion, and lifestyle subjects and has photographed nine books.

Recent projects include a collection of luxury homes at Apes Hill, an extended assignment in rural Ontario, and the completion of a forthcoming book on the Barbados Synagogue Historic District in Bridgetown.
