For me, the best street photographer who ever lived. His command of natural light was outstanding and no one has ever come close to his quality.

[@moldovanandreea6601]

I have the same feeling about him.

[@peterxtrahan]

I agree 100%. This is the first time I have seen any of his work but now I am a big fan. As I watched each frame appear and then the next, all I could think of was, "there's a lot of people trying (or have tried) to do what he has done and nothing I've seen comes close. The light, the shadows, the humanity; he did it like no other.

[@teikocornelius]

I can't give all that credit to one man as being, "THE" greatest of all time, or to ever exist, but, "ONE OF" the greatest of all time!! Definitely one of my all time favorites though!! Amazingly talented photographer!!!

[@dingo3718]

Absolutely the best photographer for using light to get the best quality of contrast.

[@valhallafallen]

Wonderful, no text, no comments, only an intimate dialog between the artist and me. Outstanding channel. Thank you!!!!

[@normankleinberg5525]

I echo the praise of other posters. Look, there are a lot of revered photographers who I just "don't get", but I just love these pictures for their composition, geometry, angles and perspective. I almost don't care about the specific figures in them, it's the overall "look". It just goes to show that you don't always have to get right up close to get an excellent street photograph.

[@dennyoconnor8680]

He was an artist. Notice that todays cheap cell phones produce pictures with more detail and a wider range of contrast than these. And he did these without 20 frames per second or zoom lenses. Yet we prefer looking at these rather than cell phone shots.

[@robertmathieson1083]

In street photography they don't get better than Fan Ho. Absolutely spell - binding.

[@tolim8485]

Wonderful atmospheric feel 3:49 , spontaneity 12:26 and stylise like early Chinese art form 30:04 to name a few. Absolutely a pleasure to watch and feel you are transported from a earlier to slightly more modern times at end of video!

[@greatphotographers]

It's good to know how many sensations the images conveyed to you in the order I placed them. Thanks for your comment!

[@marczanton4038]

Encore une découverte exceptionnelle grâce à vous. Merci. Marc from France.

[@greatphotographers]

you welcome

[@razorback7828]

Wonderful program! Only music and beautiful pictures by Masters!

[@qepri]

Thank you, excellent way to share photography art.

[@josephasghar]

Fan Ho was an absolute master of shape and light. ‘Street photographer’ is too slack a term for this individual.

[@drixmor]

Master Fan Ho's ability is indescribable.

[@jeffp1519]

I'm really, really loving what you're doing by presenting these "great" photographers! For me, it the experience would be even better if you were a bit more careful, and ensure that there are no duplicated images. In almost every episode that I've watched, there have been duplicates. Looking forward to your continued success in bringing even more "great" photographers to us all!

[@gregbrummett7762]

absolutely the best street photographer I've ever seen..... just wonderful

[@mattma96]

Master Fan Ho utilized the floor of the Central Market as a reflector... Wow~

[@sonnar_joa]

really greatest photographer of all time, indeed.

[@chrisloomis1489]

Film is beautiful , I love Fan Ho and his work.

[@davidpeppert9168]

A great photographer at the top of his game…. An outstanding street photographer, but also I enjoyed his abstract photos which were also superb.

[@monikabrandenstein5011]

It is a great pleasure to look at this selection of photographs! One aesthetic moment after the other. 17:57 - is probably one of the most fascinating examples of excellent black and white photographic art ever.

[@tricycle1814]

I can't believe I'm discovering him only now. What an artist, wow.

[@dgapp76]

Amazing eye for composition and light. Very inspiring!

Brilliant sensitive work, the essence and the meaning of street photography. He caught the soul of the time and the place.

Quel regard ! Un très grand maître

[@c64club]

One of my beloved photographers. I have a copy of "Joy of life" printed and sometimes I hang it on a wall. If I had to choose few photos to take to no man's land, some of Fan's works, along with Martin Chambi's or Zofia Rydet's.

[@MichaelHeinz4]

Which music can be heard in the background....?

[@totisantiago1]

Does not need Instagram to be a Great Photographer!

[@dizzybuizzy9347]

I find it strange, regardless of the Photographer, it always Enlightens my Mood, by watching the Pictures from the past, especially BW!!

[@dizzybuizzy9347]

I'm just wondering how Mr. Fan Ho managed to take those Super Long Verticals in that Time Period?

[@judithsteiner6647]

He must have cropped his photos.

[@dizzybuizzy9347]

@@judithsteiner6647 - Probably right..

[@camloff]

One of the BEST showing his country realities so well. He loves his SITE. FAN HO is exceptional.

[@rossodom812]

I wish I could figure out how street photographers like Fan Ho make themselves invisible to their subjects.

[@greatphotographers]

Yes, I wonder that too, without a doubt it is part of the art of taking street photography.

[@TiTo-Outard]

ho! je suis fan!

[@EricHavard]

Way too many duplicates....

[@greatphotographers]

oh yes, sorry, I'm fine-tuning the editing process so that doesn't happen.

[@evertking1]

Wonderful video and thanks for the time and effort. I appreciate it

[@jamesschneider3828]

Terrible presentation. Who wants images flash by so fast giving you no time to study and see what caused the photographer to even take the shot. This would be better in click to view each image. For me to look at and study each one this would take me at least a couple of hours to enjoy the images.

[@greatphotographers]

use pause and play... this is youtube, and this is how it works

[@kevinking217]

Another way to say the pictures are too good!

[@mikehou9461]

@@greatphotographers No need to do that, viewer can change the speed of your film.

[@jeremoe1]

I clicked pause and play repeatedly. Took me a while to see the whole presentation, but what's the rush? I thoroughly enjoyed them, though the b&w's were my favorites.

[@alexeiheintz7350]

It is easy to slow down it

[@13ahab]

Not good quilty work lack of anything sharp in a lot of these snaps they only look resonable at times because it's history.
