William Stephen Fenwick is a twenty-four-year-old self-taught professional artist from Louisville, Kentucky. His passion for photography & cinematography began at the age of eleven as a resolute skateboarder competing for sponsorships. As years passed, sponsors accumulated but so did intense injuries, slowly but surely leading Will toward a much more meaningful passion for visual arts. His photography was exhibited in notable competitions and magazines across the United States and freelance opportunities laid the foundation for a career by the age of sixteen, and two years later he would transform his passion into a full-time career after collaborating with Too Short and Snoop Dogg.
Will strives to create content that will outlast the typical 8-second attention span and inspire future generations. Through studying work from artists like Ethan Russel, Neal Preston, Danny Clinch, and Pooneh Ghana, Will dedicates his artistic motivation to searching for unique perspectives while also adapting to unplanned, once-in-a-lifetime moments. This approach has attracted clients such as Nikon, Q Prime Management, The Ryman Auditorium, and artists including Portugal. The Man and Jack Harlow. Will published his first book in January 2022, he temporarily moved to Washington state to expand his creative network and has also been interviewed about his perception of taking risks, which can be read here.
