In 1998, Hong Kong photographer Rensis Ho was asked by the now-defunct newspaper Hong Kong Daily News to shoot some portraits of Ryuichi Sakamoto during the Japanese musician’s visit to promote his album Discord.
Ho’s portfolio was jam-packed with celebrities even then. His reputation had seen him entrusted with taking pictures of Kate Moss and Marc Jacobs, as well as local stars such as Aaron Kwok Fu-shing and Anita Mui Yim-fong.
Only a handful of the images that he took were published. Remarkably, nearly 30 years later, the complete set of portraits is being exhibited for the very first time, more than two years after Sakamoto’s death.
