Why it matters
This highlights the intersection of mobile technology and social inclusivity, focusing on how AI-driven imaging can better represent diverse populations.
TECNO has concluded the Kenyan chapter of 100 Portraits of Becoming, a global portrait project created with Brazilian artist and photographer Angélica Dass. Captured using the TECNO CAMON 50 Ultra, the opening collection features 20 Kenyans across different complexions, environments and everyday lighting conditions.
At the centre of the project is Universal Tone 3.0, CAMON 50’s multi-skin-tone imaging technology. It is designed to render skin tone and texture more naturally across varied complexions, lighting conditions and multi-person scenes. The portraits turn that capability into visible, local proof by showing people in the places where their lives and work unfold.
