Will Fenwick is a soul of many hats - a pilot, sponsored skateboarder, USFS park ranger - but nothing has yet to match his 15+ years of passion for professional photography, videography, and creative direction.
As the Kentucky-based, internationally awarded artist follows a family lineage of backcountry homesteaders, prohibition-era moonshiners, and artisan woodworkers, Fenwick's familial roots have led to the natural world becoming a consistent theme within his creative endeavors. He has expanded upon this foundation by placing his day-to-day motivation within documenting our connection to the human experience, whether appreciating the outdoors, live music, or any other lifestyle promoting the concept that life should revolve around building meaningful relationships and unique experiences.
Today, Fenwick’s ambition has led him to collaborate with organizations ranging from Nikon to Anheuser-Busch and even the McDowell Mountain Music Festival. He published his first book in 2022 with 100% of profits donated to charitable organizations focused on native education and environmental restoration, he has been publicly interviewed about his artistic journey several times, and along with his dedication to promoting outdoor preservation, he is a whole-hearted mental health advocate.
