From the publisher of Portrait of Hong Kong and Photography. My Passion. My Life., WE Press proudly presents a reprint of Thoughts on Street Photography—a recreation of Mr. Fan Ho’s acclaimed 1959 photographic methodologies.
Illustrated with 64 images—31 of which have received international awards—this book takes readers on an expedition through Mr. Fan Ho’s conceptual and practical foundations of street photography. Sixteen insightful essays, originally published in the Hai Kwang Fortnightly, are presented alongside self-written prefaces, a short autobiography, and a reorganization of his iconic, award-winning photographs. This edition also features a curated selection of previously unpublished original negatives, newly scanned and printed. 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 comes from within, an expression of your thoughts and your heart though your eyes’; it was never about that unsympathetic machine." - Fan Ho
