Dive into the creative process behind each photographic work, and be guided by his principle: move yourself and touch others.
“The real good picture is not about the camera, but in yourself, in your eyes, in your thoughts, in your heart; it was never about that unsympathetic machine.” – Fan Ho
Fan Ho 何藩 (1931-2016)
Born in Shanghai in 1931, photographic career started at the early age of 14 when given his first Kodak Brownie from his father. Within the first year he won his first award in Shanghai. At the age of 18, he acquired his twin lens Rolleiflex with which he captured all his famous work after he moved to Hong Kong with his parents and continued to purse his love for photography.
In 1949, Fan Ho’s family relocated to Hong Kong, where he continued to pursue his passion—particularly in street photography. He later earned the title “Cartier-Bresson of the East.”
Fan Ho’s works garnered nearly 300 local and international photography awards and honors. His talents were soon recognized by the film industry, where he first appeared as an actor before transitioning into film directing, a career he pursued until his retirement at age 65.
Throughout his life, Fan Ho taught photography and filmmaking at universities around the world. His work remains in both private and public collections, including those of the M+ Museum (Hong Kong), Heritage Museum (Hong Kong), Bibliothèque National de France, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Santa Barbara Museum of Art (USA) and others.
