Ike Edeani Interview
Each month we ask a photographer to picture a Corneliani Travel Jacket - the iconic overshirt- somewhere in the world. These shots were taken in Venice by Ike Edeani, a photographer based in Brooklyn, New York. With a background in design before pursuing photography, his editorials – featured in the likes of GQ, Esquire and Time – capture a wholly contemporary yet intimate mood, whether in the studio or the far-flung destinations he travels.
