KIKI has been running as a side/passion project of Christine and myself (iaan) since the start. Apart from the awesome Ambassadors, we’ve not had much help with the shop, blog, social media, communication, admin etc. We feel that our time and resources are holding back on what KIKI can mean to the photographic community and [...]

Part of what we want to do at KIKI is to make the lives of photographers easier and also provide the platforms to learn, share and love. We often hear photographers, new and professional, asking about where can I get this, or where can I buy that, or what would you recommend for… Normally, these [...]

We are serious when we say that KIKI is about community! In that spirit, were are launching an initiative to build exactly that… community! (We like to call it a playground) In the words of Jack Johnson, “it’s always more fun to share with everyone”! We know you have unique stories, perspectives and ideas even [...]

This is just a quick update on what’s happening with KIKI TV. We are aiming to get the show back on air again as soon possible, but we’ve encountered “minor” delays!
