Cammie Toloui was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. She holds a degree in photojournalism from San Francisco State University, where she also taught photography.

Her work has shown in London’s Tate Modern, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, New York’s New Museum of Contemporary Art, San Francisco Camerwork Gallery and the Wight Art Gallery in Los Angeles, among other places.
