Are the photos just friends or a couple in love? Photo project about a kiss by Ben Lamberti

These photos at first glance resemble a video about kissing strangers, but in fact the project was filmed long before that.

One day, photographer Ben Lamberti took a spontaneous photo of a couple kissing, and he liked it so much that as a result, a whole series appeared, which was later published by the German magazine Zeit Magazin.

Passionate photos were supplemented with lines from famous songs, for example, All you need is love.

Were the couples real lovers? Some are, others are just good friends.

Among the participants were professional models, which, of course, can be seen in the photo.

Ben says he just sat quietly as an observer in the hope that people would forget he was in this room. His goal was to capture emotional moments.

The photographer notes that it was more difficult for real couples to kiss, because for them it is really a very intimate moment, whereas friends "kissed for laughter."
