Jo Paul Wallace

Jo Paul Wallace is one of two winners of the Street Photography Now Project. He tackled every brief head on, moving deftly between black and white and colour, creating witty, moving, political and consistently energetic images. He’s a fearless street photographer whose frames are packed with strong characters and expressive gestures. Week 34’s Instruction was “get stuck in the thick of it” – Jo Paul Wallace did that every week, thrusting hands and feet, birds and plants, cameras and phones, smoke and mirrors right into the foreground of each visceral shot.
