I have only recently discovered Fan Ho and immediately fell in love with his photographs.
I love the earthy rawness of his street photography, the moodiness of an evolving Hong Kong in all its glory. So many of his compositions are perfect, capturing shape and light in such a way as to emphasise the components of the scene; texture, composition, people, life. As captured moments of a world long since gone his photographs are wonderfully evocative and mysterious; encapsulating both the way of life at that point in time, yet with all the intrigue of what remains uncaptured.
