Toni Gabriel Mahfud is a German model, photographer and illustrator, born on 2 December 1994 in Hamburg, Germany. He’s widely known for being a content producer on the social media site Instagram.

Early Life

Although there’s not much information about his parents, it’s known that Toni became interested in art when he was four years old, after his mother bought crayons and other art materials for him.

The next step for Toni was to start watching anime and other media that inspired him to sketch: ‘Started with Anime figures when I one day asked myself, ‘why do these persons have such big eyes and a nose like this? What was the first step to start working on my art to look more realistic?’ I was around 12 at the time. I never went to an art school or anything. I just thought of everything myself.’

Concentrating on creating his own style, Toni improved his work throughout his childhood by experimenting with various techniques and more realistic themes, putting special attention into portraits. However, dedicating his life to art was not his only goal, as he also became interested on modeling, beginning when he was eight years old.

Career

YouTube

In 2011 he started posting his art online, though it was only in 2014 that he created a YouTube channel, on which he shares videos of his artworks creation process, often using watercolors for paints and dark pencils for drawings. His videos are entertaining and relaxing, as he takes a long time to edit them on high speed to catch viewers’ attention, and chooses soothing music fitting the work he’s working on.

Toni’s illustration portfolio on his YouTube account includes his drawings of celebrities, such as actor Channing Tatum and singer Adele. Despite Toni uploading only six videos onto his channel, and hasn’t posted any videos on the platform since 2016, he’s managed to attract more than 100,000 subscribers to date.

Instagram

The photo and short-video platform Instagram has been Toni’s principal tool, to speed his career not only as artist and photographer, but also as model. The first photo he shared on the site was a ladybug drawing posted on 8 May 2012. Since then Toni has continuously posted his art, photographic works and even pictures of his everyday life.

Although his talent has been notable since the start, his early works looked amateur and uncomplicated.

He never let that stop him though, as he slowly improved his technique and gained more and more followers through it. Some of the many celebrities he has posted drawings of are Rihanna, and top-models Cara Delevingne and Kendall Jenner.

In recent years Toni has been experimenting more freely with his photographic work, often editing his photos in a very original and particular way. One of his most notable is a picture posted in 2017, on which he appears underwater, with a setting notably enhanced by his editing skills: ‘Back to my underwater walk in Dubai with this incredible location. It’s probably one of my fav pictures’.

To integrate a wholesome and pleasing aesthetic to his Instagram content, Toni is very careful of what he posts, so as not to break the visual equilibrium he has created throughout the years: ‘I always make sure the images fit with the color of my feed.

The page must look harmonious. You should pay attention to this, especially as a beginner.’

Normally he uses a SLR (single-lens reflex) camera for normal posts, though his selfies are often taken with his ‘phone. He also recommends that photographers travel and get out of their comfort zone, to create more original content, giving their work an unexpected turn based on the acquired new perspective of the world: ‘You can photograph things that are different, that you can’t see every day. Simply there’s an insight completely different. And that’s precisely what is interesting for followers’.

Modeling

Toni Mahfud’s looks have been one of the many reasons he has attracted a huge number of followers on his social media accounts.

Instagram particularly has allowed him to show his physical appearance in a more intimate and somewhat artistic way. The first picture of himself he shared on the platform was posted in 2012, which surely caught his followers’ hearts as they were quick to praise him for his appearance.

Never a stranger in receiving those types of comments, Toni has used the fame provided by his looks to pursue a career: not long after posting his first selfie, he began receiving offers from many fashion companies to model their products.

To date, Toni has worked alongside brands such as Hugo Boss, Adidas, Gillette and Daniel Wellington, and gained worldwide fame as one of the most successful male models.

Influencer

As a result of his massive presence on social media, Toni has obtained fame as an influencer as well. Posts of his travels and lifestyle attract many brands interested in collaborating with him to promote their products through his social media.

In an interview with GQ Magazine’s German edition, Toni revealed some of his secrets to creating a loyal and massive following online. In his words, Instagram was built for images and its aesthetic, making quality over quantity essential: ‘What is most important is variety and specialty’.

For beginners he recommends posting once a day, opposed to what Instagrammers with a huge following usually do: ‘In my opinion, if you have a certain number of followers, you don’t necessarily have to post something every day. I don’t do that either.’

In his opinion, visuals shouldn’t be the only thing important for influencers, and he takes time to choose interesting and deep captions for his posts.

Other Collaborations

His artistic work has also caught the attention of companies not only interested in his looks, but in his talent as well. Such is the case of Pepe Jeans London, which in 2016 collaborated with him to create a line of printed denim jeans.

In 2018 Toni worked alongside sports car manufacturer CUPRA Deutschland, and posted a photo on Instagram of it: ‘I don’t know what it is, but when you give me a pen and a piece of paper, its like you’re sinking into another dimension. Very happy to be working on something creative again with @cupra_de ‘s brand new SUV that is launching soon!’

Toni has not revealed the identity of his parents, though it’s a known fact that they’re both Syrians. This answers fans’ questions regarding his ethnicity.

Later on her parents divorced, and while she remained connected to both parents, she remained mostly with her mother, but would later have three half-siblings from through her father.

Even as a toddler, her mother started taking her to auditions, which led to her first professional opportunity, commercial work for the camera company Kodak.

A few years later she resumed doing acting projects as she enjoyed them, leading her to work as a model for several Disney clothing catalogs. She also appeared in a commercial for the brand Old Navy, a clothing company that is a subsidiary of Gap – the store has its main operations within California which led to the opportunity. She also made an appearance in the music video “Sweet Sweet Baby” by Macy Gray.

My Wife and Kids

In 2001, Posey got her first television role at the age of six, as a guest in the series “NYPD Blue”. The police procedural show aired from the 1990s up to the mid-2000s, following the story of a detective squad working as a part of a fictional precinct within Manhattan.

The show was very popular during its time, gaining praise for its realistic storylines and its inherent grittiness.

However, it was her next project that launched her career, as she was cast in the sitcom “My Wife and Kids” as Kady, the youngest family member. The sitcom aired on ABC for five seasons, and starred Damon Wayans as the patriarch of an upper middle-class family whose members are semi-dysfunctional.

Life After My Wife and Kids

While the show was very popular for a few years, interest in it eventually died down, and coupled with the desire of Wayans to pursue other projects, the show was canceled in 2005. While working on the show Parker also had a few guest roles, including an appearance in the series “Strong Medicine”.

Afterwards, she made an appearance in the series “Snowfall” which aired on FX – set during the 1980s, and deals with the crack epidemic in Los Angeles.

Personal Life

Apart from her acting work, she spends a lot of time helping various charities, particularly with the Stand Up to Cancer Foundation which she has supported for over six years. She also aspires to create a non-profit organization herself one day.
