ABOUT

Walshy, known professionally as Street Shots, is a Norwich-based photographer. While going through one of the toughest chapters of his life, he picked up a camera for the first time during a drop-in course at rehab in 2020 — a moment that started his journey and, ultimately, saved his life. After the program was cut short by the COVID-19 lockdown, and while living in a homeless shelter, Walshy taught himself through YouTube and experimenting with the camera. He developed his own unique eye for capturing the world around him, shaped by real-life experience rather than formal tradition. His determination earned him a place at Norwich University of the Arts, where he continues to push and refine his work.

Walshy specialises in street photography, portraiture, and conceptual work. His approach is people-centric, often delving into emotions to create images where trust, authenticity, and raw human connection come through naturally. Whether working in the studio or on the streets, his experimental approach and emotive storytelling allow him to capture raw, honest moments that reflect real life and real people.

Alongside his photography business, Walshy also founded Evolving Canvases, a non-profit organization that uses creativity to support mental health, addiction recovery, and community well-being.
