Brandon Ho Wins Award in Wes in the World Photo Contest

2017 Dec 1

In November, Brandon Ho was among the winners of the Wesleyan Fries Center for Global Studies' 2017-18 Wes in the World Photo Contest.

More than 200 Wesleyan students, staff, faculty and alumni voted on 56 images in five different categories, including landscape, people, contemporary issues, daily life and sports. Photographs were submitted by international students and U.S. students who studied abroad.

Ho's photo of a fisherman in Jinlun, Taitung, Taiwan, titled, "Fishing at Dawn," was named the best in the category Photos of People.

“I was interested in the traditional methods of fishermen using a triangle net to catch fish so I woke up and spent the morning photographing them and learning more about their lives,” he said.
