Kisses in black and white

Kiss = Love + Affection + Compatibility

Kiss is an active project of mine. I have been working on it since 2007. I rarely photograph in the studio, so most of these were taken in real life, usually during events were I happened to be photographing.

I usually try to get permission after spotted the love birds in their acts. The photos were shot after I gained permission, but as love is in the air, they generally came out fairly natural as they could care less about whether or not a camera was pointing to them or not! (This is true even for my own self portrait with MMF!)

See the whole set on Flickr.

5. Kiss between friends. It's a friendly kiss as the guy is gay and the girl is straight, but they came out just as sweet.

Stunning work! So evocative, adding depth and emotion to these oh-so human acts of kissing.

Especially adore -- Kiss / Hiro at the Maritime Hotel -- utterly brilliant.

Thanks much and great good fortune.
