I Photograph People Making Love In Public Places

ADVERTISEMENT

Ok, yes, this title is definitely a clickbait and I apologize to anyone who thought they would now get to see pictures of people having sex in the public space – if you really wanna see that though, I’m sure you know where to look for it ;-)

I wasn’t lying though, I do take pictures of people making love, but do you really have to be naked to make love? Isn’t a hug, a kiss, or even just a smile, just as much a part of love making?

So for all the hopeless romantics out there, here’s a collection of lovebirds I caught right in the act…

    hmm. I don't know if it's just me but if this post includes people with all races, all sexual orientations and all types of love (mother and child/father and child/grandparents and grandchild/pets etc). Wouldn't that defines who we are on this earth? Just Sayin. Nice stuff tho :)

    well, the author did write "Making Love" in his title. If you urbandictionary or even the normal google definition the term, mother-child/father-child/grandparents-grandchild/pets-humans "making love' would be freaky. (unless you're into that sort of thing, go you! :)

    They are not photographs of "people making love" — so I object to the tabloid title trying to garner views. Give us a break.

    "Making love"? "Make out", maybe.. because making love is when clothes come off and bedsheets gets ruffled. (or maybe that's just pornhub talking for me.) Point is, a kiss, a peck, a hug, a smooch isn't "Making Love". This lazy panda is too lazy to google the definition. (like, are you even an adult? geez)

    actually is the other way around making love is not about sexual intercourse, making love is a hung a kiss that say i love being by your side and don't want to let you go, everything is gonna be alright that is making love. some people only have sexual intercourse just to satisfy their physical needs no feelings involved

    Unless you see something I don't see, they are not 'making love'. They look to be making out, or hugging or cuddling but they all seem to have their pants on.

    As long as it's in b&w, it's totally art and definitely not creepy at all.

    The only thing I can say it is 100%, is photography. I don't stalk anyone though, these are just couples I happened to run into in the last year or so. And when the situation allows it, I go say hi afterwards, all those I've spoken to where happy to get the picture as a souvenir of a nice moment. Sorry if you think I'm creepy... I just can't help but take pictures of things I find beautiful!
