Cody Wallace (b. 2003) was born and raised in San Diego, California. He is currently pursuing a BFA in Integrated Lens-Based Media at Montana State University in Bozeman. At school, Cody fell in love with analog photography and discovered a passion for documentary work and zine-making, using these mediums to process his own experiences and the world around him. At the core of his work lies a deep interest in the human condition. In most of his series, such as My Friend David, he focuses on the relationships closest to him. Observing the lives of others helps him process his own inner struggles, and he desires to find hope through empathy with others.
