He fan

essential information

Early experience

When he fan was 13 years old, he received a brownie camera from his father. Since then, I have been fascinated by the art of photography. He moved to Hong Kong when he was 18 years old, and showed every side of the city, from busy streets to lonely alleys, through film. he studied in the literature department of the New Asia College (the predecessor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong) founded by Qian Mu. He was appreciated by Tang Junyi, one of the representatives of Modern Neo Confucianism, and hoped that he would transfer to philosophy. In the New Asia academy, he fan received a good Sinology education. He fan's black-and-white images contain the artistic conception in his poems. He also named his works after his poems, such as "day and night are far away". Later, he simply wrote his poems into his works. In the 1950s and 1960s, he fan won more than 280 awards in different photography competitions around the world. From 1958 to 1965, he won the title of world top ten photographers held by the American photographic society. His photography is no different from that of langjingshan. In 1958, he won the champion of the top ten. He broke the traditional size with his new style of photography. atlas reference sources

Character evaluation

He fan is the only one who regards pornographic movies as a career in Chinese erotic movies. He has shot less than ten movies in his life, and none of them is a non class III movie. It takes a lot of courage to achieve this, especially in the 1970s when Chinese people were not fully enlightened. He fan is the only one who filmed Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s. His expression of light and shadow is very dramatic and beautiful. More importantly, instead of trying to record Hong Kong, he used the camera to capture people, ordinary Hong Kong people. From his photos, I see human nature and feel warm. The people in those photos are as kind as their families.
