Having grown up in the small town of Sisters, Oregon Will occupied himself with exploring, discovering and enjoying time outside. After graduating from the University of Oregon with a degree in Photojournalism he began to focus his photography pursuits on outdoor, active, artistic, quirky communities and the locals that give places their own unique characteristics.

By immersing himself into these communities he strives to tell stories, whether in his backyard or across the world, that bring out emotions we can all relate to as being indigenous to the same earth.


With clients such as Backcountry.com, Ski Utah, Revo, OutsideMag, and Sierra Designs, Will continues to push what it means to be a photographer, and storyteller, in todays noisy landscape.
