London-based Scottish photographer Dougie Wallace is internationally recognised for his long-term social documentary projects and a distinct direct style of expressive street photography. His work is informed by societies’ trends and incongruities. He translates what he sees through the lens into wit, criticism and humorous vignettes to convey a distinct point of view. He attributes his unique vision to his Glasgow up-bring, which has shaped his what is often described as his 'visually exaggerated' and 'hard-edged' style.
Dougie has won prestigious awards, including the inaugural Magnum Photography Awards and exhibited as a solo artist or in joint exhibits in world-renowned institutions, such as the Royal Academic of Arts summer show.
To coincide with BBC Season of Photography (2017), BBC4 broadcast a 30-minute TV programme about Dougie, as part of the What Artists Do All Day series, providing insights into the lives of outstanding artists.
Dougie has authored seven books
