Street Photography Talks

Following "Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong" and "Emotions, Insights, Feelings," Hong Kongers Publishing once again brings more treasured works by Fan Ho to a wide readership – "Street Photography Musings."

"Street Photography Musings" is a 1959 work by Fan Ho, documenting the author's insights into dozens of photographs and exploring the theory and practice of street photography art.

This book comprises sixteen chapters, plus a preface. It was originally serialized with illustrations in "Hai Guang Fortnightly" and then compiled into a single volume. It also includes a short autobiography and has been re-edited. Among its contents are famous award-winning works as well as previously unpublished images. The book features a total of 64 illustrations, 9 of which were international award winners at the time.

This book, with its rich text and images, offers a glimpse into the master's creative journey, his unique perspectives on photography, creation, and life. Through the many photographs documenting different facets of Hong Kong's culture and humanity, one can feel the simple and genuine local customs of yesteryear. Today, these are incredibly precious and truly not to be missed.

"A truly good photograph is not in the camera, but in yourself, in your eyes, in your mind, in your heart, not in a cold, inanimate machine." — Fan Ho
