‘Fan Ho: A Hong Kong Memoir. This book completes the trilogy Fan Ho began with Hong Kong Yesterday and The Living Theatre. In his previous monographs, viewers were introduced to Hong Kong during the 1950s and 1960s.

Through his brilliant eye for light, composition, and his patience for the ‘decisive moment,’ Mr. Ho created striking images that continue to resonate through the decades. Fan Ho: A Hong Kong Memoir revisits this lost era with a combination of never before seen images and introduces new-montaged photographs.

Fan Ho, nicknamed ‘the great master’ earned his fame as one of Asia’s most beloved street photographers capturing Hong Kong in the 50’s and 60’s. He was born in Shanghai in 1937; immigrated to Hong Kong as a child in 1949. His photographic career started at the early age of 14 when given his first Kodak Brownie for his birthday from his father. Within the first year, he won his first award. Fan Ho passed away in 2016.

第三部曲《香港‧往日情懷》除了收錄前兩本著作從未公開的影像之外,何藩先生更採用不同黑房投法,運用了重複曝光及將攝影拼貼書法等手法,呈現出與眾不同的香港另一面;亦反映出其攝影創意已早具有相當大的前瞻性,完滿了此三部曲攝影集。

何藩在攝影界有「一代宗師」之名,更被譽為「東方布列松」。1931 年出生於上海,自14歲生日時獲父親所贈 Rolleiflex 雙鏡頭相機開始,便與攝影結下不解之緣,更在第一年便獲得首個獎項。其後他於1949 年移居香港繼續追尋攝影夢,於2016年去世。
