TOM MAHER
Ballet In The River City

Worked with Karnes Coffey Design to shoot Richmond Ballet dancers underwater for the 2019-2020 Season Brochure, Ballet in the River City. These amazing artist/athletes train their entire lives to make defying gravity look completely effortless and elegant. After the creative team approached me with their underwater concept I knew if we could get them in this zero-g environment we might have a shot at creating something special. That was 3 years ago. It took us that long to talk the ballet into letting us shoot their dancers underwater in full costume.

Tom is a filmmaker and photographer who got his start working on the agency side as a print producer and art buyer. After a 20 year career blew up he decided to take the leap and raid his 401K to start his own film production and photography company, Stolen Moment. That first year in business was spent working odd construction jobs and stocking warehouse shelves to help pay the bills while gaining some valuable and humbling "life experience" not found on Facebook. Almost 10 years later things are starting to come together - although he still has nightmares about digging 300lb cement footings out of the frozen ground with a pick-axe. He now considers it the highest privilege to be creating authentic, inspiring and emotional work for clients around the world.
