Dive into the captivating world of Hong Kong through Mikko Takkunen's stunning photography and Geoff Dyer's essay.

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 antigovernment 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 colors to the stunning tonalities, each photograph is carefully curated to take you on an offbeat journey through the magnificent city.

Dyer, Geoff: - Geoff Dyer (b.1958, United Kingdom) is an author, whose many books include three about photography: The Ongoing Moment, The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand and See/Saw. He is also the editor of Understanding a Photograph, a collection of John Berger's writing about photography. He lives in Los Angeles.

Takkunen, Mikko: - Mikko Takkunen (b. 1979) is a Finnish photographer based in New York. He works as a photo editor at The New York Times. Between 2016-2021, he spent more than five years in Hong Kong as the desk's Asia photo editor.

Taylor, Rumsey: - Rumsey Taylor is an assistant editor at the New York Times. He works across multiple desks as a visual editor, designer and engineer. In 2021 he was part of the team that won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic. He holds a master's degree in graphic design from Boston University.
