This autumn, f22 foto space is delighted to present the My Fair Lady group exhibition, an intimate journey discovering the production of the much-loved movie starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison in 1964.

Featuring the rare behind-the-scene images of My Fair Lady, this photo exhibition gives an insider look into the filmmaking process of the award-winning movie, revealing the technical aspects, creative decisions and interesting anecdotes behind one of the most successful adaptions in Hollywood.

Originally a romance in five acts titled Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw in 1913, the play gained its fame as a motion picture in 1938 and later as a Broadway stage musical with songs written by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. The plot depicts Eliza Doolittle’s transformation from a cockney flower girl to an elegant lady in high society at the hands of Prof Henry Higgins, a snobbish phonetics professor. The romantic comedy explores the theme of intelligence, love and the class system with sharp conversations surrounding Eliza’s growth and emotional struggles, and how she finally became a confident woman set free to realize her potential.

This September, f22 foto space is delighted to present the “Style” exhibition by William Klein, one of the most influential photographers. In this exhibition, we invite you to explore Klein’s non-conforming approach to fashion through his avant-garde perspective, which has redefined modern photography. Born in New York in 1928, Klein started photography in early 1950 while working with architect Angelo Mangiarotti as a young artist after studying painting at La Sorbonne under the guidance of French painter Fernand Léger. In 1954, he was invited by Alexander Liberman, the Artistic Director of American Vogue, to become the magazine’s photographer.

Klein applied abstract geometry and contrasting lines in his composition, lighting, layout, and design. He created a new direction in fashion photography by infusing his work with the city vibe, turning streets into runways and bringing high fashion from studio to the real world. He further explored the use of graphical elements in photo making by reinterpreting painted contact sheets to direct the viewers‘ gaze as an art form.

We are pleased to present another exciting exhibition of James Chung – Waiting for the Moment – comprising over 30 of his most iconic images on the beautiful Hong Kong of the 1950s and 60s. Waiting for the Moment was the motto and the belief of the photographer behind his charming works of art. “I believe that the most significant element behind a good photograph is waiting... waiting for the moment to catch the right subject, best lighting and ideal composition,” said James. His families and friends recalled James spending countless hours, even days, waiting for the moment when all the desirable elements come together for the perfect shot.
