Global innovative technology brand TECNO released a new film to unveil the project of “100 Portraits of Becoming,” a two-year global portrait project co-created by TECNO and internationally acclaimed visual artist Angélica Dass which started from Kenya as the first chapter. Building on TECNO’s philosophy of inclusive imaging technology and Angelica Dass’s distinctive approach to portraiture, the project plans to bring together 100 portraits and personal stories across five countries, moving beyond visual representation to explore the individuality and humanity behind each portrait. Through the personal journeys featured in this branded content produced by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions, audiences gain a glimpse into the energy and aspirations of people navigating today’s changing world — how they are finding their own paths, shaping new possibilities and imagining who they want to become.
The film produced by BBC StoryWorks also explores the shared vision behind TECNO’s collaboration with Dass. While TECNO’s Universal Tone technology seeks to fairly represent the beauty of different skin tones and human diversity, Dass’s work has long challenged the labels and assumptions through which we see others. Together, they bring a shared belief to “100 Portraits of Becoming”: that being seen is about more than appearance — it is also about being understood for who we are.
