THE LIFE
Fan Ho was born in Shanghai and moved to Hong Kong as a teenager. With a Rolleiflex he photographed the streets of 1950s and 1960s Hong Kong, using sharp light and shadow. He won hundreds of international awards and later worked as an actor and director. His book A Hong Kong Memoir revived interest in his early work.
