More About Fan Ho…
“Fan Ho was born in 1937 in Shangai. His family moved to Hong Kong when he was still a young boy He started photography at a very young age with a Rolleiflex camera his father gave him. His “street-photography”, which is sometimes formally called social documentary photography shows a true passion for everyday human life in minimalistic fashion. His ability to capture scenes in light and shadow adds to his uncomplicated, yet dramatic compositions are quite remarkable.
According to Wikipedia,
“Fan Ho developed his images in the family bathtub and soon had built up a significant body of work, chronicling Hong Kong in the 50s and 60s as it was becoming a major metropolitan centre.
Upon seeing Ho Fan’s work for the first time in 2006, gallery owner Laurence Miller commented that “they felt like direct descendants of the Bauhaus, yet they were made in Hong Kong. They were abstract and humanistic at the same time.”
“Ho Fan is a Fellow of the Photographic Society of America, the Royal Photographic Society and the Royal Society of Arts in England, and an Honorary Member of the Photographic Societies of Singapore, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France, Italy, and Belgium.”
