I first discovered Fan Ho through his stunning photos, particularly his The Living Theatre album. I admire how he tells the stories of everyday life through light. What draws me in even more is his ability to capture people living in their moments.
I had chance to join Noirfoto for a 3-hour photowalk around the Chợ Lớn area, inspired by Fan Ho’s street photography style. I found it challenging to blend into the daily activities of people and capture their moments in such a short time. For me, this kind of photography requires time and patience to truly connect with the surroundings, so that I can feel when the right moment to capture.
Here are some photos from the 3-hour walk. While I haven’t quite captured Fan Ho’s style yet, I still find these shots beautiful, especially because the strangers smiled at me when I took their pictures.
Thanks to anh Ngọc from Noirfoto, who helped me rediscover the reason why I love taking photos! ♥️
