Hello, I’m Will.

For the past eight years my eye has been set down the view finder, capturing the world around us. I have always seen this world in a unique light, quite literally. Being born with Ambylopia and Deutranopia, it means that my brain only uses one eye, of which is colour blind. I wouldn’t say that I have struggled with this, i’m just aware that I see everything different.

Now what made me become a photographer when vision is quite clearly very important? I have a love for Art, the outdoors, and being able to look back on those incredible moments. I refuse to let this condition control what I do with my life, and so far I think my work is pretty good. Good enough to get booked for events, and sell prints of my landscapes at least.

It’s quite funny really, because it usually comes as a shock when I tell people, it’s quite the juxtaposition. But it works, I also have no idea what my images really look like!

“I can honestly say he exceeded our expectations. He was very much in the background and his professionalism shone through. Cannot recommend him enough.”

“I want to thank William Hickie Photography for these fantastic pictures! He really captured the values that are most important to myself and my family! Professional by nature and by quality (just look at the pictures!) If anyone ever needs there special moments captured, I highly recommend.”

“Will did a photoshoot for our little boys second birthday and I can't say anything other than they were perfect. The candid shots he captured were amazing and even got the weather for it spot on!!”

Peak District photography workshop

“I had a fantastic landscape photography lesson with William 16/09/2024.
We met up early for perfect conditions, sunrise and a cloud inversion.
I am a complete novice where photography is concerned, basically a point and press guy, but I do a lot of hiking and take pictures, so I wanted to take better ones!
William talked through the fundamentals in a way I understood, hinting at little things that can make a good picture great!
We went to a local café for an editing session and again made something totally alien to me understandable!!” - Alan H

A glimpse into how I work

In my recent video, I battle the weather while exploring the Peak District in its winter coat! And give a visual walk through in my photography process.
