Patrick Wallace (January 22,1972), also known as PSWallace or WitchsVamp, is a music photographer, artist and web designer. He was born in Oak Park, IL to Roger Wallace and Ruthann Trinco. As a young boy, Patrick became fascinated with photography as his father was a photography hobbyist. Patrick began taking art photos when he was 11 years old and in his later teen years he got into music photography.

During his four year stint in the Marine Corps, he documented many events during his travels. His most notable work was of the poverty and political downfalls in Haiti. In 1998, just before his enlistment was up, he began photographing the King Diamond band which would become his claim to fame. After returning home to Chicago in late 1998, Patrick became more active in the music photography circuit. His work was more popular on the internet than anywhere else.

Between 2001 and 2005, Patrick travelled around the USA, UK and Ireland covering everything from forest fires, concerts and social issues with his camera. To this day, he still does concert photography among other styles.
