Discover captivating images by renowned photographer Fan Ho, who was known as the ‘Cartier-Bresson of the East’, showcasing Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s
Step back in time and experience the vibrant Hong Kong of the mid-20th century through the lens of renowned photographer Fan Ho.
His final book project, Portrait of Hong Kong, showcases previously unseen images that offer a nostalgic journey through the old city’s streets and harbour views, from bustling thoroughfares to tranquil harbour views.
The works show a more documentary-style approach than Ho’s iconic, stylised street scenes and were curated after his death with the help of his family and the founder of Hong Kong’s Blue Lotus Gallery, Sarah Greene.
