Kona Franks-Ongoy

Kona Franks-Ongoy is a Montana-based documentary-style photographer with a soft spot for the quiet drama of everyday life. For over 20 years, he’s been capturing moments with cameras — mundane fragments that might one day become relics of memory or cautionary tales, depending on who’s looking. Kona holds a Master’s in Education from Western Washington University with an emphasis on environmental education. His work is rooted in care, realism, and a quiet hope that his daughters will one day see the world he lived in, just as it was.
He is currently open for project based work to create memories for families, documenting events, or creating media assets for organizations and businesses.
