On the Real Photo Show podcast with Michael Chovan-Dalton

"Deliriously beautiful color photos of daily life in Hong Kong" - Kenneth Dickerman, The Washington Post

"Hong Kong is a tiny triumph (...) the print equivalent of a spring cherry blossom: the glorious first blush of a budding visual artist." - David Friend, Vanity Fair

"Takkunen's use of color throughout Hong Kong is perhaps his most notable characteristic, and the way he brings out the hues in each of his images is genuinely remarkable." - Max Wiener, Musée Magazine

”…it’s not Takkunen’s use of color (and high contrast black) that makes his photographs fascinating. It’s his unique perspectives and inventive framing, often combined.” Tom LeClair in Open Letters Review

"His eye for color, light, and composition, honed both through his work as a photographer and photo editor engenders captivating, beautiful images that leave a lasting impression." - Josh Bright, The Independent Photographer

"Takkunen works in vibrant color. His photographs evoke the work of Saul Leiter, who Takkunen calls an inspiration, along with the rest of the New York School. And of course, it is also possible to compare Takkunen's photographs to those of William Eggleston. Eggleston's color work around the United States, like Takkunen's, was not so much a documentary project, but does capture a look and a feel of a particular time that has passed. " - Robert Gerhardt, Blind Magazine

"A wild ride through Hong Kong." - Mee-Lai Stone, The Guardian

"I have not seen Hong Kong depicted with such a serene and dignified approach since the photographs by Fan Ho. Takkunen's observations of the city take us on a collective journey through exceptional compositional technique and color theory and leave us with as many questions as we have answers. " - Kalum Carter, Digital Camera World

"I wasn't absolutely certain what I was supposed to be looking at, and it took a me a while to get to grips with it." - Ailsa McWhinnie, Amateur Photographer magazine

"He brings us a fascinating vision of Hong Kong going through changes, filled with colours and neon lights, revealing moments that make this city magnificent. " - Eli Anapur, Widewalls
