Fan Ho. The great master in Hong Kong

[Dao]

I personally really like his work. I think his work can inspire us.

Fan Ho: finding love and light in 1950s Hong Kong – in pictures


For those who have not seen his work before, what do you think?

They showed some very beautiful examples of his work in the guardian

I’ve seen it before and love it. It’s what I think of when someone mentions street photography. Now it seems street photography is just a quick snapshot of some random persons face with no thought of composition or lighting.

I adore it. This is my kind of photography - he shows a great eye for line and geometric shapes, composition, capturing emotion, and his exposures are beautiful. A couple of them did come across as staged, but who cares? Excellent work.

That much Light/Shadow is no accident.
Many of his frames required a lot of Note taking, Patience, Planning, and Clock watching
