Every time I look at Fan Ho's work I am amazed. Pure poetry. Thanks for the explanation of his images.

it makes me happy to hear your words about street shots

In my 50 years of photographing things I thought I knew it all... well a lot of it at least. But this opened my eyes a bit. Thanks!

Really interesting video thank you. Fan Ho is definitely in my top five all time, his work is exquisite. The only caveat I would add to the narrative is that by his own commentary he staged designed and managed most of his famous images. For example Approaching Shadow (1954), his signature shot, and probably his most iconic work, featured his cousin and he actually added the famous triangle in the dark room edit. His ability as a film director, actor and story teller is his evident throughout his body of work. Yes, he had the vision and talent, but he also had the skill to stage manage his images. Thanks again.

Truly inspirational video. I love his work. It’s almost like watching a movie. His pictures are juicy treats for my eyes. Thanks for sharing.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Like the way you dissect the photos to show, not only the technical aspects, but also the emotional. You just gained a new fan. Thank you.

Thanks for putting it up in-the-face ! It’s true that the essence of photography is getting lost. You just got a subscriber !

Clear message filled with wisdom.

Fan ho's shots are awesome!!

Great video. As an aspiring photographer its so nice to hear someone talk about the humanity, and art in photography. Lately when I’ve been trying to learn something its been some bullshit version of a how to video to be “JuST LIke A pRofesional.” thank you for this wonderful video.

Thank you for highlighting Fan Ho's work. Very inspiring! I need to do further research on his work.

I've just found your channel and I must say it is wonderful. I have admired both Fan Ho (and Ansel Adams) for many years. Your vlog does you credit. Keep them coming.

Thoroughly enjoyed your presentation, thank you for going through in such details.

Nice video and definitely food for thought. Today you see many street photographers (especially on you-tube) using the “spray and pray” technique, I have to admit that sometimes they do get “lucky” and get a nice shot. I started photography using film, many years before digital cameras and now that I have a fancy (LOL) mirrorless camera (Fuji X-T4) I still slow down and pay attention to subject matter, lighting and composition, there are days when I go out for a three hour (or longer) walk and don’t take a single shot. I always enjoy your videos. Stay safe.

When I was younger I saw his photos there, there was no citation of who it was. It was a few years until I learned who took those photos. Been a fan ever since. Sometimes when I question my shots regarding shadows and light I remember his work.

Great video - thanks for sharing. 👏

Now that's photography,

Apart from being a very good photographer you can be a great story writer and story teller 👍

Yes! You understand...

recently i started to feel the same way about the way i was doing my street photos, so i decided to challenge myself. I reduced the available space on my SD card up to 50images, compared to the usuall 2000photos i can shoot on my 64go card 50 is a really low number to me i turned off the screen and image review, full manual, manual focus and tried to get the best shot i could. I was a little bit too focused on my exposure since i'm still strugling with that so nothing really stood up but it was a great experience, not being able to watch what i got till i got home felt pretty good actually. Because of that experience i managed to deal with my shity exposure quite a lot, most shot were exposed the way i wanted and only and few where blown out or under exposed i'm gonna do this "challenge" as much as possible cause for real it help a lot with dealing with settings right from the start. and obviously when you don't need to think about exposition anymore you can focus 200% for the composition, the light and the subject fan ho is my favorite photographer of all no question asked, he's trully a master at his craft and i can only hope to be one day able to get that kind of power out of my photos

Beautiful sir,

Thank you for your insights.

Stumbled upon your channel. Brilliant video. Subscribed.

More like this please and thank you

great photos

Yes your so right that these days people worry about their mega pixels and camera lens rather than concentrating on how to get the shot with composition and light

Love it!!!👏👏👏👌

Amazing!

Loved the video ! Txs ! Cheers !

Amazing video. Thank you. I'm a new sub.

Amazing video!

Very well explained. 😊✌️

Hi can you please give the name of the introducer explaining the hole video?

💙

The background is very important

Very good film you made here. Got the voice to go with it. I bet fan ho,s could not do as well. There is talent in everyone. Some just do it better than others. Thank god. Otherwise it be a bit boring.

I hope all is well with you and the family.

Nice video, and agree with you. What focal lenght do use mostly? Thank you

Feeling guilty about being a smart ass didn’t mean to but loved your video thanks

It’s a fact fan ho set up the shot of the girl in the triangular shadow of the building

1:25 that wasn't a decisive moment, though. He placed the woman in that spot

If someone picks up a trumpet and plays a bad note, it’s technically music but other musicians don’t validate it as good. Too much bad photography being validated because it’s “art”

if you are planning out each shot then that's not street or candid photography, candid photography by definition is spontaneous, you don't know what you're talking about

Photoshop is a tool, not a substitute for talent.

Digital cameras have made photographers out of idiots and idiots out of photographers.

Light talks, not Gear..

1:20 there is nothing special about this photo. It has been proven that the supposed shadow was actually dodged in place in the lab. This shadow did not exist in real life and the idea that he waited for the decisive moment is incorrect. I was totally disgusted when I found out. There was no decisive moment.

What a wonderful video, thank you.
