Portrait of Hong Kong《舊香港人的舊》 contains 153 never-seen-before street photographs which were selected from Ho’s hand picked 500 negatives before his passing in 2016. The surviving family members since then had spent about a year to complete the project, together with the exclusive support from Sarah Greene (Blue Lotus Consultancy) and WE Press 香港人出版. 20 quotable excerpts from Ho's earliest bookThoughts on Street Photography 《街頭攝影叢談》were included to commemorate the inner emotions and passion of the legendary master. These 153 mesmerizing photographs provide not only glimpses of Hong Kong in the 50s and 60s but also recall the indomitable spirit of the people at the time.

This body of realistic street photographs were never highly recognized during 50s and 60s even being Ho’s favorites, as in Ho’s reply to Sarah Greene during one of her visits to Ho in early 2016 and appeared in the Afterword of the latest monograph:"My realistic street photos are rarely selected. Pictorial aesthetics and images with a sense of humor are still the key for salon photos but I expect changes to happen soon. In the meantime, I will just keep trying. ––– Fan Ho, Afterword by Sarah Greene in Portrait of Hong Kong"Ho's family also established an official and memorialize website to celebrate the life of work of the legendary master.
