China Mail – Hong Kong - Friday, March 24, 1950


ONE –MAN PHOTO SHOW OPENED

The Photographic Society of Hong Kong launched a new series of one-man shows yesterday with an exhibition of pictures by Mr. Francis Wu

The Governor, Sir Alexander Grantham, and Lady Grantham opened the exhibition.

The pictures, numbering exactly 100, will be displayed at the salon of the Society, Prince’s Building, for a week.

They range from facial studies to landscapes to interior scenes.

It is planned to hold these shows towards the latter part of each month.

Mr. Wu, who is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and The Photographic Society of America is one of the Colony’s leading photographers.

His show yesterday contained many distinguished portraits. His outdoor scenes were a visual record of Hong Kong’s many moods – they captured alike the drabness and the oppressive glare of the summer sun.

Mr. Wu is planning to devote considerable attention to color photography, which he believes will soon replace black and white.
