Will Wallace has been taking photos since he was seven when he received his first camera. The effort to portray the three-dimensional, always-moving world in two still dimensions has always seemed magical to him. He is not comfortable with asserting any abiding truth in photographs, but instead values the possibilities of capturing a moment in a place at a time in such a way that beauty and our relationship to it has time to emerge. The finished photo is one part of the process and represents the full experience that brought this captured moment into being, but also provides an opportunity for an ongoing relationship with what it represents.

Will lives in the east end of Toronto where he is a highschool English teacher by day.  As a photographer, he is drawn to the natural places there: Taylor Creek, Scarborough Bluffs and the Leslie Street Spit. Although he loves to travel, Will has come to understand the benefits of returning to a place time after time. Will's work was featured in 2022 Contact Photography Festival exhibition "Forest Spaces" and is grateful to be included again in this year's show.
