Ewan is a maritime photographer who loves water sports and the elements. Over the last few years, his passion for photography has grown in the midst of this iodised world, and he has tried his hand at a number of different styles until he finally found his own. A lover of the maritime world in all its forms, the photographer has immortalised in his viewfinder a wide range of images of the sea, from the mythical frigate Hermione to the acrobatic figures of Breton windsurfers, not forgetting the ‘behemoths’ of the French Navy, such as the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle and the nuclear submarines at Île Longue. Now renowned for his aesthetic fibre and graphic approach, he has come close to realising his dream with the publication of his fifth photographic work, ‘Carènes - Acte II’, retracing seven years of passion and encounters along the water. Over the past seven years, he has exhibited his work in a number of travelling exhibitions (Choses Maritimes, Terre de glisse, Titans des Mers, etc.), including one in 2017 aboard the Queen Mary 2, for a transatlantic exhibition between St Nazaire and New York. It was his first opportunity to take part in an auction orchestrated by Drouot, an experience he repeated the following year in the hushed salons of the Quai d'Orsay... For the last three years, he has been exhibiting in art galleries in La Baule, L'île de Ré and Dinard... Selected and exhibited at the 45th Salon de la Marine in 2021, he had been nurturing a dream for nearly ten years, that of becoming a member of the ancient and prestigious corps of official naval painters. This dream became a reality on 1 September 2021 with the decree signed by the Minister of the Armed Forces. For the past 4 years, he has been exhibiting in art galleries on a permanent basis (La Baule, Ré, Dinard...). In 2023, he will publish the book ‘Neptune’ on the world of combat swimmers, followed by the book ‘Choses Maritimes’, and a series of exhibitions between Paris, Monaco, Geneva and Brittany...
