Will Nicholls is a professional wildlife cameraman and wildlife photographer from Northumberland in the United Kingdom.
In 2023, he was nominated for a BAFTA for cinematography for his work on the Netflix/Sky Nature co-production Predators.
Nicholls was a student at the Newcastle Royal Grammar School between 2006 and 2013. He then studied Zoology at the University of Exeter in England between 2014 and 2017.[citation needed]
Nicholls started taking pictures of wildlife when he was 12 years old. He has traveled across the United Kingdom, Cambodia, Amazonia, Nepal and other locations as a photographer and wildlife documentary maker. He has been interviewed by Live ‘n’ Deadly, BBC Countryfile and BBC News.
In 2015, Prince Harry spent time in a wildlife hide with Nicholls in search of red squirrels as part of a visit to learn about red squirrel conservation in the area. Nicholls has been involved in red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) conservation for a number of years, as the species is endangered in the United Kingdom.
Nicholls runs a free resource called Nature TTL, for nature photographers, which contains contributions and instructional articles by photographers. In 2019, Nature TTL launched the inaugural Nature TTL Photographer of the Year competition.
