citylikeyou — Brighton / Ewen Spencer

Ewen studied under the tutorage of British Phototgraphers Paul Reas and Mark Power at the School of Art and Design at the University of Brighton. He graduated in 1997 and quickly became known for his groundbreaking editorial during the late 90’s for The Face & Sleazenation magazine. He immediately spoke to an audience interested in subcultures, multiculturalism, music, graphic art, photography, fashion and primarily youth culture. His Open Mic book was awarded a yellow pencil certificate by the D&AD in 2005 for Photographic publishing, and remains one of the best examples of Ewen’s work to date.

Brighton / Area

Here I am in the South Downs. This spot is around 5 minutes drive from the centre of Brighton. You can see for miles.

Brighton / Attraction

Every November the famous Brighton Pavilion develop part of their Gardens into an Ice Rink. Its lit up beautifully of an evening and runs right through until the end of January.

Brighton / Pub

I dont like flash bars and pubs. I like committed boozers where you might get away with falling over or being a bit cheeky. This is my favourite pub in Brighton called the Heart and Hand. The juke box is full of some superb 45s inc The Who's Mary Anne with the Shaky Hands, Love's a House is not a Motel and Buffalo Springfield's I am a Child. The ales not bad and the bar staff are usually very nice.

Brighton / Restaurant

This is Marrocos Restaurant on the seafront towards Hove. It's a well kept secret by most Brightonian's. We dont like to share it as its small and precious. Besides great Pizza and Pasta and also incredible Seafood they make the very best Ice Cream in Brighton. I take my kids after school as the queues are crazy at the weekends. Try the Rum and Raisin....... or the Hazelnut.

Brighton / Shop

This is Sandpiper bookshop in the North Laine. The North Laine is a very old residential and shopping area. the majority of shops, cafes and bars are independent and have been that way since I arrived almost 20 years ago. Sandpiper stock hundreds of current and out of print photo books at very competitive prices. Here i can gouge away....The music is ace too.
