Hi, I’m Will.

William hickie peak district photographer

For the past ten years my eye has been set down the view finder, capturing all of my adventures. I have always seen this world in a unique light, quite literally, being born with Ambylopia and Deutranopia, my visual impairment has helped me see things differently.

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. 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 view it as one eye and one brain, is the same as one lens and one sensor.

Need a photographer to join you outside? That’s me!

Hitting the trail is my favourite thing after photography, combining the two is a dream.

It could be a local woodland walk with family, a charity hike, or summiting some serious peaks across the globe.

Why not bring me and my camera to document your adventure?
