Franck Ismael KONE – PHOTO winner April 2024

A salesman by profession, Franck Ismael KONE lives in Yopougon, nicknamed Yop City, one of the thirteen communes of the Abidjan district in Ivory Coast. He is passionate about photography who discovered more about mobile photography through the Phonematic Photo Contest.

Franck Ismael KONE is the winner of the Phonematic Photo Contest for the month of April 2024 following his second participation with an overall score of 13.50 out of 20.

In March 2024, Franck presented his photo book entitled Queen and vintage, highlighting the woman who breaks free from any stereotype, the one who asserts her status and her personality regardless of her era.

In April 2024, Franck Ismael KONE spoke to us about Voyage, a poem, an ode to life, where each moment is savored, or each encounter flourishes. He said, “My journey walks with faith and my passion. Because travel is my muse, my most beautiful song. I dance with nature, I get drunk on freedom. Because the world is my ship, and adventure calls me to sail.”
