I’ve been named one of PDN’s 30 New and Emerging Photographers for 2016.
From a kid who never in a million years thought he could actually do this photo thing for real, this is wild. Thank you all for the support over the years, to Julia Sabot for giving me my very first assignment almost exactly 3 years ago, and so many other photo editors and clients for having faith in me.
Congrats to all the other winners, you can check out the online gallery here.

MEET ALLIE X, POP MUSIC’S NEW SURREALIST
PHOTOS BY IKE EDEANI
I shot a few portraits of Allie X for The FADER, out now in issue 97.
It was really cold outside. She was a trooper.
I spent a month last summer traveling between Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania on assignment with Mama Hope, a San Francisco-based non-profit organization, to document their work in various communities throughout the region.

James picked us up at 10:30 and we drove over to St Timothy’s school in Moshi. Most of the students weren’t there because they’re on holiday, but a bunch were still working on regional exams. I spent time talking to some of the P7 boys about football, the World Cup, life in the US, Nigeria, the Ukraine (?), and other stuff. These kids are incredibly bright and so much fun to hang with.

Spent the morning in Maai Mahiu photographing a group of community kids cleaning up their neighborhood, then we stopped by Cafe Ubuntu for lunch. I watched the Maasai cattle herders out front for a while, then we went to the primary school nearby to check out their vegetable garden.

Landed in Nairobi and went straight to the hotel to drop off gear, then we walked over to Java for food. Downtown Nairobi is fascinating (more SF than Lagos), wish I wasn’t feeling so sick or I would’ve explored a bit. Hopefully on the way back from Tanzania.
Went back to the hotel and took a nap, which made a huge difference, sore throat is now a cold which I think is a good sign. Woke up around 5 to work on some selects, then met up with the girls for dinner at the restaurant downstairs. Took a nyquil afterwards and crashed hard, bus across the border leaves at 7:30am.
This month I’m collaborating with the nice folks at INSTANT to offer a few prints for sale (including this one). The photographs were made last summer during my trip with Mama Hope through Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, and 50% of the profits from each sale will go directly to them.
Have a look at the site, and check out prints by some other photographers as well.

Construction of Manhattan’s first micro-apartments, for The Atlantic
Hi Tumblr, Happy New Year, it’s been a minute.
Here’s a story I shot at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on a very cold morning in November, about the construction of Manhattan’s first micro-apartments. It’s out now in The Atlantic, part of a brand new section they’re calling ‘Works in Progress’.
