title
Women Entrepreneurs in Ivory Coast
My goal through this photographic series is to awaken consciences so that the world can take a special look at these women, mothers, grandmothers, who have decided to sacrifice themselves in the hope of giving a better future to their offspring.
Born to a Franco-Ivorian father and a Cameroonian mother, Charles-Henry spent most of his childhood in Ivory Coast before moving to his mother’s homeland. He decided to settle in Côte d’Ivoire where he obtained a degree in visual communication. Seeing photography as the language of the soul, Charles-Henry’s career in photography is marked by a desire to immortalise scenes of the mundaneness of everyday life; but above all by a desire to dive into the heart of the lives of the people he captures in his images.
