I have chosen Fan Ho. He uses shadows to create a sense of mystery up his photographs. He uses shadows to make a photograph have multiple layers and have a deeper meaning. His photos have a beautiful balance of black and white. They focus on street photography and they usually have a human element. It create feelings of darkness and nostalgia.

 

Photo Evaluation:

I chose this image. I like how the woman standing but it looks like she is standing two colors. Not really sure what mood she is.  One element that is significant to Fan Ho is light. Light played a crucial role in his compositions, creating dramatic contrasts, highlighting the subject, and adding depth and atmosphere to his photographs. Fan Ho often captured scenes with strong directional light, casting intriguing shadows and emphasizing textures. He carefully observe how light interacted with the environment, architecture, and people using it to create visual interest and evoke emotions. This photo is important because it attracts people and focus the color especially light and shadows. This photo can tell what people feel right now. For example woman is probably thinking of something, feel lonely or depress. I can’t really see details in this photo. There is woman and light and shadows. So it doesn’t really show details, what this photo trying to tell. I like light compositions. This is the best one that took from the street because it emphasize lights and and shadows between woman. I will took picture using more lights and shadows in the street.
