WAYN is Canadian photographer Kane Ocean's first book, comprised entirely of previously-unreleased material. It is a diaristic account of people and places—parties, trips, conversations, slices of time. They represent nothing more than Kane's perspective, a physical record of his movements, attempts to capture the light of the world as he saw it.
Release date: April 29, 2022.
