Self-taught, he arrived in Barcelona in 1960 to begin his studies in Chemical Sciences. There he began his career as a photographer doing travel reports. However, from the very beginning, he opted for themes far removed from Photojournalism, and in 1972 he held his first exhibition.

In 2023 the Centre Internacional de Fotografia Toni Catany was inaugurated in his hometown.[6]
