“Marc Vallée’s work brilliantly captures the vibrancy and spirit of protest – shining a light beyond the headlines to the people who today take to the streets in a cause and bringing them so vividly to life.  Marc’s images are a remarkable front line document of the spirit of dissent in modern Britain.” - Jeremy Dear.

“Marc Vallée is one of my favorite contemporary photographers.  Many artists are photographing the young, but Vallée’s work is exceptional and solitary, avoiding the kneejerk tendency to either define the young through their fashion sense or create the impression of communing with them by smothering them with fashionable aesthetics.  His photographs are fully interested in their subjects, somehow more respectful of their beauty and emotions and, at the same time, more invasive of their privacy than any other youth oriented images out there.  Vallée’s work is ravishing, noble, unique, and irresistible.” – Dennis Cooper.
