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 (2014),[4][2] photographs of the stag and hen parties that visit the town,[7] "lads and lasses on their worst behaviour, partying away in a bawdy sea of L-plates, handcuffs, blow-up dolls and uniformed fancy dress",[8] "in various states of undress and drunkenness; revelling in bars, puking in the street, refuelling at chip shops."[6]

Wallace spent 15 years photographing in the Shoreditch area of East London, a series published in his second book, Shoreditch Wild Life (2014).[9][10]

He photographed the disappearing Premier Padminis in Mumbai for his series Road Wallah.[11][12]
