    I am from Hong Kong and I haven't heard about Fan Ho for the longest time until recently. I was stunned by his photography. The images was historical but the art is timeless. To my English-speaking friends who may see Fan Ho as an Asian/Eastern photographer, his Chinese name Fan/藩 actually could mean " the outlying border/ the fence" -- which communicates an outsider influence. Fan Ho is very unique.
  • @TXGRunner
    Fan Ho is my favorite photographer. Choosing a single photograph as a favorite is just too difficult. What I find especially intriguing with his work is how he used photography to build upon a genre of oriental paintings where extraneous detail fades away in haze, smoke, or mist, leaving just a few simple points of interest.
  • @artemorbid
    This is amazing. This is the first time hearing about Fan Ho. His images are absolutely stunning. Thanks so much for sharing this.
  • Loved your video, never heard of Fan Hu before but loved all his photos you fearured esp those branches and misty scene, so easternlike!

    I am surprised and delighted to find out about this wonderful street photographer Fan Ho. Thank you for this wonderful video, bringing his spectacular photos to greater recognition.

    Love your sensitivity and your honest and expert observation. You are very thought provoked and select in your comments. So refreshing. So many over speak it. I'm now a member. Thank you.
  • Great video, I had never heard of this photographer. So glad you introduced me. I find his work links strongly with what drew me to photography as a youngster. Especially his reasons for using black and white and the way he used light.
  • A great artist who just makes me speechless. I felt the eternity of the moment when I saw his pictures. Thank you for sharing this.
  • @jerryeisner1

    This is why I love YouTube... you can discover things/people you might not have even heard of otherwise. Thank you for covering this.
  • @alanplummer
    Very inspirational! Thank you for presenting this to us!
  • @leemorrison9156
    Thank you for your video about Fan Ho. I’ve never heard of him before now. Really enjoyed watching
  • @scott-ish404
    Man, what a great way to stand out from the average YT's 'famous-photog's-quick-bio' vid in a way that's relaxing without sounding patronising (your presenting it from the armchair whilst the background slowly morphs into Fan Ho's masterpieces was the icing on the cake, IMO). And, to top that off, the very fitting background music was so in synch with it that it sounded more like a carefully composed soundtrack. Well done!
  • @al201103
    Incredible work and a photographer I had not encountered before. Thanks for this wonderful overview of his work and life - fascinating and stunning.
  • Thank you very much for this very interesting video - I really enjoy the videos about the great masters of photography, and Fan Ho is absolutely one of my inspirational favourites.
