Fan Ho
(1931-2016)

Known as “the Henri Cartier-Bresson of the East,” Fan Ho was extremely talented at creating compositions with backdrops of geometric structure, pattern and texture, and he captured countless decisive moments.
Rather than merely documenting buildings or monuments, he sought to capture Hong Kong’s soul—its people’s joy and hardship as well as the city’s rebirth.
In his teens and twenties he garnered nearly 300 domestic and international salon awards, producing his largest body of work.
Fan Ho was a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and the Royal Society of Arts, and an honorary member of photographic societies in Singapore, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France, Italy and Belgium.
He received the “Lifetime Achievement Award” at the 2nd Global Chinese International Photography Awards (Guangzhou, 2015).
His works are held in numerous private and public collections, notably the followingM+ Museum (Hong Kong), Hong Kong Heritage Museum, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art), Santa Barbara Museum of Art.
