Mike Will
Photographer and content creator
A former professional ice hockey player, Will has harnessed the discipline and drive required in elite sport and used it to help build a stellar photography career.
He shoots a variety of photographic genres for a wide range of clients, including live music, automotive, fashion, portraiture and more.
Having forged close working relationships with several leading global photography brands, Will is also an ambassador for Sony, Joby and Adobe.
And social media is what underpins Shooters, the photographic community Will started in the UK in 2016, and which has since expanded into other areas.

You might not have heard of Shooters but it’s a great way of meeting up with like-minded people who enjoy taking photographs. Powered by social media, Shooters runs events (‘meet-ups’) in places including the UK, the US and Europe. It was founded by Mike Will, a former professional ice hockey player and photography enthusiast, now a full-time photographer, content creator and director. Having seen his ‘From Beginner to $1 Million Shoot (vlog)’ YouTube video earlier this year, we were keen to find out more about Will’s photography journey, why he founded Shooters and what attendees can expect.
