Welcome—you’ve stumbled upon the difficult to find, seldom visited catch-all website for the generalist and lensman, Tommy Penick. This site serves as a place to keep work I find fulfilling, though perhaps not commercially viable. If you’d like to see my work directing, producing, and shooting along with my work fam, please check out our turn key production work at freerangefilm.com

ABOUT TOMMY

A jack of all trades—master of some. A life long learner. A kid with a bit more energy than focus. All of those pleasantries led us here. Raised alongside kids with clear visions and paths of medical school and building airplanes, Tommy’s rambling mind couldn’t quite figure it out; that is, until photography became the unifying key. From nature to art, cooking to punk rock, mountains to ocean, photography allowed Tommy to sample all of the best, while not settling for just one. True to fashion, after launching a successful photography business, Tommy’s wandering mind started playing with the video function on his still camera, and another root was sprouted.

Through his career, Tommy’s carried heavy backpacks in the rain, dropped expensive things in the mud, caught some tricky eddies, hung off some questionable ropes, and had a lot of laughs about it all throughout all fifty states and 30-something countries. In his free time, he basically likes to do the same things, but usually with less weight in his backpack.

Tommy’s clients include REI, Red Bull, Sierra Nevada, Rivian, NRS, Freefly Apparel, Outside, Casio, Pinkbike, Maxxis, A&E, Visit Virginia, Explore Asheville, Astral, Industry Nine, Abu Garcia, Ugly Stik, Berkley, and Traeger Grills. His films have toured worldwide on the Banff World Tour, MountainFilm, 5Point, Kendall Mountain Film, and have garnered Vimeo Staff Picks.
