Sepia-toned photograph of a stairway leading above ground from a dark recess. A woman is walking down in the foreground while many other figures are walking up. The light from the stairway highlights the clouds of dust in the air.

Fan Ho 何藩

Smoky World 迷離世界

1959

Fan Ho’s photographs of people walking through the Central Market in Hong Kong, including this low-angle shot, are some of his most celebrated works. Playing with the effects of light and shadow in the open-roof building, Ho adds an air of drama to the everyday scene. His experience as a film director enabled him to capture atmospheric and poetic scenes as well as people’s emotions.
