Master of Modern Photography in China

Due to the wrong closed-door policy of Qing Dynasty, China's social productivity lags far behind other western countries, so China is short of talents in high-tech fields. In the modern history of our country, a master photographer Ho Fan appeared. From his photos, we find that almost all the photos reflect a theme called Hong Kong, so many people think that he is from Hong Kong, but in fact, Ho Fan is a native of China and was born in Shanghai. Moreover, his shooting technique is so good that China people have a place in the world photography history.

I. Ho Fan's Life Ho Fan fell in love with the camera when he received his father's birthday present at the age of 13, and then he fell in love with photography. Later, 18 years old immigrated to Hong Kong, and photographed Hong Kong from bustling streets to lonely alleys with cameras, all of which were shown on film by Ho Fan. Later, he studied at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and was appreciated by Tang Junyi, a modern neo-Confucian philosopher. He hoped that he would study philosophy instead. Later, in the 1950s, Ho Fan won more than 280 awards at the World Photography Awards.

Second, the contribution of Ho Fan Ho Fan has a work called "Chatting in the Afternoon", which was shot at 1959, reflecting the typical life in Hong Kong. Many of Ho Fan's works were shot in various streets of Hong Kong. He wandered around with his camera all day and took many photos when he saw the beautiful scenery. Therefore, Ho Fan knows the living habits of Hong Kong people very well, and he is very good at capturing the spiritual outlook of the city, so his works can move people's hearts. In addition, Ho Fan's most classic works like to use geometric figures and lines to create strong visual effects.

Third, the influence of Ho Fan Ho Fan's works have been exhibited in museums all over the world, and he has filled the gap in China's world photography history. It has had a very far-reaching impact on both China and the West. His photography skills and composition have impressed many people who study photography and painting.
