In the summer of 2013, New York-based photographer Ben Lamberty took a random picture of a couple kissing. He liked the picture so much that he decided to make a series of them.
Asking his friends to pose as his models, some of whom were actual couples and others just good friends, he started to snap them while they passionately embraced each other. The pictures ultimately ended up featured in the December 2013 issue of a German publication called Zeit Magazine, and the images were paired with lyrics from famous songs including The Beatles track "All You Need Is Love."
“It was interesting to see how the different couples reacted," said Ben. "It seemed to be more challenging for the ‘real’ couples because it was rather intimate for them than for the friends who kissed ‘just for fun.’ All in all, we all had a blast creating these pictures.”

Still same people than #2 and still friends. Their passion looks so fake.
10 photos, 4 of them the same "friendly" girl... That didn't move me at all, seen better "love picture" series here. Seems more like Oh, I just want to kiss everyone, lets make an excuse lol And the photos themselves aren't anything special... Sorry.
There are 2 different girls (you can tell by the earring, nails, hair...) and both of them are kissing the same guy on both of their photos... ;) Easyto judge, but you have to look twice before you say something stupid, i think...

Except for the older couple they all seem like models. Skinny people in their 20s, are they not? I didn't feel the love.
This is stupid. Stupid idea, stupid execution, pointless experiment, waste of time to us all. ;)
You just lost 15 minutes of your life, you'll never get back!

Agreed. I would have enjoyed it if the actual answer was given.

Actually, i really did not get the point of pointing out as "friends" or "couple". However, i did not get the idea, the core of the project either. A project is to have: - a target - progress analysis - a result I do not see any in this photo series. Other than the photographer's own amusement. Next project please?
Was this an excuse by the very pretty girl to smooch with a couple of people who as friends would normally be off limits? :P Because if so, I think I have a list of people I'd like to try this with. :D
