Toon Grobet (°25/11/1967 in Antwerp Belgium) is an Architectural Photographers considered to be one of Europe’s leading Architectural Photographers. In 2003 he received the Qualified European Professional Photographers (QEP) award for architectural photography. And in 2005 he was the first architectural photographer ever to be awarded a Master QEP.

In 1991 during his studies he was accepted as an apprentice at the renowned Dutch architectural photographer Sybolt Voeten (1947-2006). In 1993 he started his own business in Antwerp

Toon Grobet was one of the photographers that was consulted by Apple during the first stages of development of the application for photography 'Aperture' in 2005. His feedback on linking metadata and a strong database to a raw developer completely changed the program. A feature now taken for granted in any raw development program. In 2007 turned his business in to a small firm called Lumecore.

In 2009 together with 6 colleagues he established Studio v.z.w. Belgium’s independent association for full time professional photographers.

Over the years he tutored many students. And he lectured in Belgium and abroad in schools for photography, in schools for architecture, in universities, and at congresses. Toon Grobet is merited for his photography and for his extended technical and technological knowledge.
