ABOUT

I am Tom McMurray and this website covers my creative work including documentary photography, film production and nonprofit work. My first photography experiences began in college with film cameras. Since then I almost always have a camera with me everyday. I shoot what moves me and then I look deeper for the "what's really happening here" and try to tell that story. 

 

The Marine Ventures Fund was started in 2000 as a family foundation to support ocean conservation. That mission has expanded to funding startup nonprofits, documentary films and also funding a wide range of health, children and women's issues.   

​

At the same time my individual creative projects have lead me to four continents working with dynamic and passionate people to understand how to make sustainable change. . There are more project ideas to fund, cultural landscapes to document, investments to make and stories to tell.  It has and continues to be an exciting ride.
