In 1991, he set up a photography studio, primarily focusing on producing commercial photography for advertising agencies. He later moved into book illustration and photography, using a variety of mixed media, formatting, and techniques. Several of his better known works include black-and-white photographs, as well as collage and mixed media using hand-tinted, full-colour photography, using natural items and household objects. In April 2010, Ellwand was featured on the children's television programme, Blue Peter. He was commissioned to design and create a large wooden house out of a tree trunk for the fairies to live, in the Blue Peter Garden. The episode featured him showing the programme presenter, Andy Akinwolere, how to create a selection of small pieces of furniture for the house. In 2011, Ellwand began working on a series of books based around the supernatural, experimenting with historical photographic processes, including wet collodion process. Drawn to the supernatural, he notes, "I've been to a lot of places where folklorists say that fairies have been sighted. Nowadays anything supernatural might be purported to be a UFO, but in Victorian times it would be considered to be a fairie, or a will-o'-the-wisp, or whatever. It's really quite fascinating."
