Hari Ho left his native Malaysia as a young man to travel and work throughout the US, Europe and Asia. He studied in the US before working as an advertising copywriter and associate creative director at an advertising agency in Malaysia and teaching at the University of Malaya. After founding and operating a design company providing photography, writing, design and print production services in Kuala Lumpur, Ho settled in Australia in the late 1980s, becoming head of production and design at the Sydney firm Fine Art Publishing. He has gained many awards for his work on art books for Craftsman House and the magazines Art & Australia, Art AsiaPacific, World Art and 21-C. His works have been exhibited at Malaysia's National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur and at the Chobi Mela Festival of Photography in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Ho designed and produced the National Portrait Gallery publication Proof (2003), and the Gallery acquired his photograph of Makinti Napanangka in 2004.
