His work has appeared in major publications such as Elle France, Harper's Bazaar US, and V Magazine, and for brands such as Chanel and Kenzo. In 2022, after four years of photographic and painting studies, Aikiu began his photographic career, creating works that express his sharp sense of rhythm, lighting, framing, and studio scenography. His photographs are inspired by painting, Pop Art, Flemish still life paintings, album covers, and cinema. In 2023, he shot his first photographic series for fashion publications Flaunt, Spur, L'Officiel, and the Parisian lyric florist Muse. He was also invited to teach photography to second-year students at the Institut Français de la Mode (IFM).
