His & Her Bottle

Live on Amazon

What happens when two people try to love each other and the world keeps teaching them not to? His & Her Bottle examines the modern relationship at its pressure points — power, vulnerability, expectation, and the silent agreements that shape what we call love.

With psychological precision and emotional realism, Des Wallace traces the interior logic of connection and disconnection in urban life. This is not a self-help book. It is a mirror.

Fine Art Photography Monograph

Reflections in Contrast

Hardcover Submitted · Pending Amazon Approval

Between spectacle and silence, motion and stillness, colour and shadow — Reflections in Contrast invites readers into a world shaped by atmosphere, observation, and emotional tension.

This 191-page fine art photography monograph by Des Wallace brings together images captured across North America, Europe, and the Caribbean, moving through six thematic movements: from the vivid pageantry of Carnival to the quiet geometry of architecture, from luminous city nights to intimate faces in passing crowds, and toward coastal stillness and open horizon.

Designed as both a visual experience and a contemplative object. For collectors of independent photography books, lovers of coffee-table art, and readers who want a book that slows them down.

Reflections from the Block to Becoming a Man

Available Now

This is a book about the cost of becoming. About what street life teaches you and what it takes from you, and how you build something real out of what's left.

Reflections from the Block to Becoming a Man is Des Wallace's most personal work — a memoir of Black manhood told without mythology or apology. The emotional labor of growing up, the weight of what is inherited, and the discipline of deciding who you want to be.

Yamecah: Jamaica, New York

Live on Amazon

Jamaica, Queens. A story about place, identity, and what a neighborhood gives and takes from the people who come through it. Written for readers who know what it means to be shaped by a zip code — and what it costs to leave it behind.

Yamecah is Des Wallace at his most urban and intimate — an illustrated narrative rooted in the specificity of New York street life, the weight of community memory, and the quiet persistence of people who build something real in hard places.

Jean-Baptiste and Marie

Live on Amazon

A mythology rendered in the tradition of the African diaspora. Jean-Baptiste sets off in search of love and returns with a magical staff — and a destiny that demands more than he expected to give. Part love story, part spiritual allegory.

Rooted in the living mythology of the Black Atlantic world, Jean-Baptiste and Marie draws from Haitian and West African spiritual tradition to tell a story about bravery, sacrifice, and what it means to serve something larger than yourself.

Legba's Journey Toward Wealth

Live on Amazon

Legba stands at the crossroads between want and having — between prayer and action, between the world you were born into and the one you intend to build. An allegorical guide through the spiritual geography of wealth and becoming.

Told in the voice of the loa who opens every door, Legba's Journey Toward Wealth uses the framework of West African and Vodou mythology to map the interior journey of someone who decides — against everything — that they deserve more, and acts accordingly.

Spirit Walk

Live on Amazon

An inner journey through faith, survival, and the question of what remains when everything else falls away. Spirit Walk is Des Wallace at his most contemplative — sitting with the tension between the visible world and the forces that move through it.

A memoir of spiritual reckoning told through the lens of street life, faith, and transformation. For readers who have survived something and are still working out what it meant.

Rise of Ogun: A Tale of Bravery and Power

Live on Amazon

Yoruba-inspired mythology. The sacred cost of power, bravery, and becoming who you were meant to be. Ogun — deity of iron, war, and labor — is more than a warrior. He is the patron of those who build, forge, and push through.

A richly illustrated tale rooted in West African spiritual tradition, Rise of Ogun maps the interior geography of a man stepping into power — the price of greatness and the discipline it demands.
