Tobias Hutzler is a New York City–based photographer known for his artful imagery for car companies like Honda and Hyundai and magazines like The New Yorker, Time, GEO, Fast Company, Sony, Travel+Leisure, Road & Track, and The New York Times Magazine. In 2013, Hutzler’s short film “Balance,” inspired by a performance by Maedir Eugster of the Rigolo Swiss Nouveau Cirque, premiered on Time.com and went viral, garnering millions of views worldwide. Luxury watch maker Titan Company later commissioned Hutzler to direct a commercial based on “Balance” and to photograph an accompanying ad campaign.
Hutzler received an M.F.A. from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco in photography. He is also the recipient of a Fulbright award scholarship, a DAAD award scholarship, and a European Union scholarship.
Hutzler has photographed scientists from the Royal Ontario Museum on expedition in the Canadian Rocky Mountains for GEO magazine, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on the campaign trail for The New York Times Magazine, a groundbreaking refugee camp in Turkey, also for The New York Times Magazine, and album packaging and publicity images for the band Magic Man for Sony. He also directed the Magic Man video "It All Starts Here," which aired on MTV and VH1. The rock band Bush (band) used one of Huztler’s photos for the cover of its 2014 single “The Only Way Out.” Also in 2014, the award-winning Canadian poetry journal Vallum featured Hutzler’s imagery on the cover and throughout its issue devoted to “Speed.”
Hutzler’s work has been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery, London, the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles, Powerhouse Arena in Brooklyn, NY, and the Hall of Justice in San Francisco. His honors include being selected as a finalist for the 2014 Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize (formerly the British Photographic Portrait Prize), the WPO World Photography Awards, PDN’s 30, and the International Photography Awards.
Hutzler is represented by Stockland Martel.
