He worked as a teamster in Salt Lake City, when he met John Wesley Powell.

Hillers was Powell's chief expedition photographer on the trip down the Grand Canyon the next year. He went on to spend twenty years exploring and photographing the American West, and is known particularly for his portraits of Native Americans. He was the first staff photographer of Powell's Bureau of Ethnology (from 1879) and after returning to Powell's US Geological Survey in 1881 continued Bureau of American Ethnology work until he resigned in 1900. Although he officially retired in 1900, he continued to take photographs for the United States Geological Survey until 1919. He was the photographer of the first James Stevenson expedition to the Southwest, which brought Frank H. Cushing to Zuni. 3,000 negatives from the Powell Surveys and 20,000 negatives from his association with the Bureau of Ethnology have been credited to John K. Hillers.
