What contribution and influence did the famous photographer Ho Fan bring to photography?

Perhaps the greatest influence and contribution is that China's photography started relatively late in the western world, and its form was not favored by the oriental artists at that time, so it firmly occupied a place in the history of world photography in China. He is a window for the west to understand China's photography, China people and China society.

He Laoshi's photos emphasize light, shadow and composition, and finally achieve a visual beauty. This method is the routine of photo photography, which is in response to such a question: how to accurately and objectively photograph has become an art, and now it is no longer a problem.

Furthermore, Stiglitz and Steichen, who practiced photo photography in the early days, also realized that photo photography could not really respond to this problem, so they turned to the exploration of the photographic media itself and started their photography practice as modernists as photo separatists.

At this time, photo photography is no longer a problem-conscious existence, but has entered the public's appreciation with some constructed visual stereotypes. In short, it has become salon photography. This kind of stylistic construction, which has lost the consciousness of problems, is what Greenberg called sculpture in the article Pioneer and Sculpture.

At this point, there is no point in doing it well on this dead body. And this is exactly what Mr. He did in practice after the 1950s. What he can say is the best contribution, which mingo said in his reply, has brought China's photography practice into American salons.
