Published to mark a new exhibition in Hong Kong, the city Fan Ho called home and where he made his name, this Guardian gallery of stunning image after stunning image aptly demonstrates the Chinese-born photographer's phenomenal talent.
Working in black and white and absolutely masterful in his use of light and shade, Ho drifted from a documentary style in his early career to photos that were more consciously arty and painterly, reliant on pattern and abstraction.
I'd be hard pushed to choose a favourite here, but 'Approaching Shadow' probably takes it for its sheer elegant simplicity.
