Stags, Hens and Bunnies
Blackpool has an unenviable reputation for its stag and hen parties. Every weekend marauding packs of brides and grooms, close friends and family, overflow its streets on a mission to consume dangerous, liver-crushing levels of alcohol. This, their rite of passage acted out on the last night of freedom, before the conventions and responsibilities of marital life, mortgage, children. Dougie Wallace presents an unflinching depiction of these nights in this unforgettable series of images.
Road Wallah
Premier Padmini taxis, first introduced to Mumbai in the 1960s, have now all but disappeared. Over a 4 year period Dougie Wallace photographed these elaborate Bollywood disco bars on wheels.
East Ended
Graffiti now appears in galleries and museums worldwide. Artists who were once hoodied, hidden and nocturnal are out in the open, working in broad daylight from cherry-picker platforms. In East Ended you see every code of cool fashion and attitude, alongside scenes of poverty and people on the streets trading in anything but the cool. Gentrification has brought a numming sameness. Yet look carefully and you'll spot the cheeky protest posters - political critique to climate change resistance - purposefully plastered over and defacing the ads. The voice of the streets is reclaiming its walls.

A Dream of Europe
Wars in Afghanistan, Syria and other countries have generated a massive stream of refugees toward Europe. Between spring 2015 and autumn 2020, Jacob Ehrbahn documented the lives of the refugees and migrants who dream of a better life in Europe. We meet people who have fled from war, political suppression, and poverty. We meet them far out in the Mediterranean in Libyan waters, and at various locations around Europe. A Dream of Europe reminds us that on the other end of policy decisions and behind the numbers and statistics, there are real people with hopes and dreams.
London Nights

The book will contain essays, poetry and over 100 images from the exhibition that span the genres of architectural, documentary and portrait photography.
Duggie the Buggy

Duggies dune racing days are over, but a reunion with his old friend Ronnie the bottle rocket sparks an adventure that will take them out of this world.
