First Edition, 264 x 328mm, Hard Cover Case Binding In English and Chinese Ships from Hawaii with free Priority Mail or UPS upgrade. -- 2021 marks the fifth anniversary of Fan Ho's passing and what would have been his 90th birthday. To commemorate and celebrate his lifetime achievements, "Photography. My Passion. My Life.", is bundling the best of Fan Ho's work. This photo-book contains a selection of 138 photos by the celebrated photographer, intertwining his internationally renowned works with those that have yet to be released. The book contains an essay "My Quest" written by Fan Ho himself in the 70's, explaining his own practice and his stylistic journey as he was influenced by different movements in photography occurring at that time. Through his essay, we learn about his interpretations of aesthetics, poetics, philosophy and synergy, as seen in his photographs. Fan Ho transitioned from the world of photography to the film industry while maintaining his enthusiasm for art. This transition is examined in an academic essay written by Dr. Timmy Chen, who is currently researching on Fan Ho's cinema, further elaborated in an essay and personal interpretation by Law Kar, a veteran film researcher and personal friend of Fan Ho. As per the Fan Ho family, "Fan Ho will always have a special place in our hearts, and we feel closer to him through the lasting legacy of his work. We know we will continue to discover something refreshing every time we look at his unforgettable images, be they portrayals of a bygone era or of the endurance of the human spirit." ??????????? ??? ?? ???????????????

Blue Lotus Gallery ??? Sarah Greene ??? This is the latest book project by celebrated photographer and film director Fan Ho, compiled from so far never seen images that were derived from his own archive of old original negatives. The flow of images takes you on a journey that loosely travels from west to east of Hong Kong island, from the boat people through construction and modernisation and across the harbour to the Kowloon side, ending in the New Territories and the quiet waters of Hong Kong. The selection of this new body of work feels more natural and closer to documentary compared to his previous highly stylised approach on street photography. In his own manifesto "Thoughts on Street Photography" which he wrote at the age of 28, and of which carefully selected quotes can be found throughout the book, he mentions: 'My realistic street photos are rarely selected. Pictorial aesthetics and images with a sense of humour are still the key for salon photos but I expect changes to happen soon. In the meantime, I will just keep trying." In 2015 Fan Ho's last dream started to materialise. Fan Ho selected about 500 old negatives from his own collection which he cropped in his signature style. After the very unfortunate event of his passing, it took another year for the project to be completed with the help of his family and Sarah Greene. In addition to the images, the book begins with a touching foreword written by John Woo about his personal encounters with Fan Ho. The book also includes an essay by professor Joseph Fung. Fan Ho's colourful life is summarised by Sarah Greene in the biographical notes at the hand of multiple conversations and recordings with the artist. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????28?????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????2015?????? ????????????500?????????150????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????
