About the book
With his first photobook Hong Kong, The New York Times' photo editor Mikko Takkunen captured one of the world's greatest metropolises during a time of political uncertainty and the pandemic. As the city was still recovering from the aftermath of the anti-government protests of 2019, Takkunen began to concentrate on the purity of seeing and capturing the world anew. Inspired by the masters of the New York School, like Faurer, Stettner, and Leiter, the Finnish photographer sought to capture Hong Kong in a fresh and innovative way, revealing hidden perspectives and moods that many have yet to see. His photos are both documentary and subjective, creating a narrative of the city that's as captivating as it is beautiful. From the vibrant colours to the stunning tonalities, each photograph is carefully curated to take you on an offbeat journey through the magnificent city.
