Amateur Photographer - Pictorial Analysis - 22 February 1956


Koko by Francis Wu

Koko, by Francis Wu, show flawless technique and the original was a joy to behold for its perfect print quality. Animals are not easy subjects, especially when it is desired to render parts out of focus, because whatever happens the eyes must be sharp and this means that only a slight movement will spoil the whole effect. However, the fact that a thing is difficult to do does not make it a work of art, even with the finest craftsmanship. It must have a personal approach as well and Mr. Wu has shown his artistry by creating unified composition and an aesthetically satisfying tone balance, all of which in harmony with the subject.
