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. "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."

He photographed the disappearing Premier Padminis in Mumbai for his series Road Wallah.
