Life and work

Wallace was born and raised in Glasgow. He lived in Blackpool for a couple of years in the 1980s before enlisting in the army. He has lived in Shoreditch, east London, for 15 years.
For two-and-a-half years beginning in October 2010 Wallace made 30 trips to Blackpool to complete his first book Stags, Hens & Bunnies: A Blackpool Story, photographs of the stag and hen parties that visit the town, "lads and lasses on their worst behaviour, partying away in a bawdy sea of L-plates, handcuffs, blow-up dolls and uniformed fancy dress", "in various states of undress and drunkenness; revelling in bars, puking in the street, refuelling at chip shops."
Wallace spent 15 years photographing in the Shoreditch area of East London, a series published in his second book, Shoreditch Wild Life.
He photographed the disappearing Premier Padminis in Mumbai for his series Road Wallah.
