Biography

Walls was born in 1992 in Sydney, Australia.[1] Walls's artworks have appeared in magazines such as The Washington Post, CNN and The Guardian.

Style

Walls' works showcase architecture, public spaces, and people from above. The Guardian has described his work as exploring the "beauty in the minimalist shapes, colours and textures" from above the subject.[2] Walls prefers working with lines and geometry, experimenting with standard design principles including negative space and symmetry to bring out subjects' features.[3] CNN describes his post-production process: "Walls will crop the shots in a specific way to create a different visual look".[4] Aesthetica explores Walls' attention to detail in his Pools from Above series "immediately struck by the tiled steps, patterned surfaces and decoration".[5] The photographer has a keen interest on people within his work to showcase an alternate viewpoint which is unseen by the naked eye.[4][6]
