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 / Shop

Really great record shop, in the heart of the North Laine. They have a really good selection of new releases and recently expanded so they could stock more vinyl records. My go to place when I need a screen break from work, as my design studio is just around the corner.

Brighton / Restaurant

Really great restaurant, which started out in Dec 2016, with a mission to serve authentic Caribbean food and cocktails. The jerk chicken is really good, but I really like the Trini Curry Roti (pictured) and Goat Curry (when available). You've also got to try the homemade hot sauce, which I slap it on everything.

Brighton / Cafe

Jack and Linda have been running their traditional fish smokehouse for nearly 20 years. The fresh fish and crab sandwiches are really good, but what I love is them and their lifestyle. I popped into the smokehouse over Summer and there was a delay in the fish soup, because Jack and Linda wanted to spend more time swimming in the sea. Can't argue with that.

Brighton / Beach

Often I see people sitting on the beach alone, staring at the horizon in silence. Its expanse has a calming affect. It’s a place where life becomes simplified into clouds, waves, the odd seagull and sailboat.

Brighton / Pub

I always feel I'm in a bar in European city when I come here, its cavernous but comforting at the same time. The pub is located right by London Road Station and is one of the few places I've found in Brighton that serves Murphys Irish stout and great cheesy chips.
