2 is better than 1.
iki is a Los Angeles based photography duo who combine fine art and commercial aspects together in order to create exceptional imagery.
From architectural photographs to fine art portraits, Elif Karakoc and Cihan Kaymakcalan experienced photography together over 10 years then united in order to put their best work as they combine their own styles. Moved to LA and started their journey.
Meaning 'the two', iki's goal is to work as partners, explore, imagine and capture together as two creatives with different perspectives to be objective and unique in their works.
