A MESSAGE FROM TOMMY'S FAMILY
Tommy’s death in 2021 has been, and continues to be, a tremendous loss for his family, friends and colleagues.
Fortunately, we were able to keep his website which we’ve updated so that it’s not only a visual reminder of him but also an expression of his photography talents, creativity, travels and adventurous spirit. Exploring the website is a chance to read about his life and experience some of the beautiful places, marine life and underwater scenes he captured with his camera and found joy in sharing. We are deeply thankful that Tommy’s legacy endures through his captivating photography, and we’re pleased to carry this on by making prints of his photos available for purchase in the website gallery. We hope you’ll enjoy browsing.
Profits from photo sales will be donated to the Tommy Schultz Impact Media Fellowship Fund which is sponsored by the Large Marine Vertebrates Research Institute (LAMAVE), an NGO based in the Philippines, and one which Tommy supported. We’re very grateful to have their collaboration. Please visit the website to read more about this outstanding organization. The fellowship in Tommy’s name honors him and aims to give creative young Filipino applicants an opportunity to learn about using media to educate and make measurable impacts in marine conservation – a mission that was important to Tommy.
Thank you for visiting!
