Photographer Documents Love In Public Places
Public displays of affection is one of those things that scares singles and makes couples just the tiny bit uncomfortable. But it sure looks nice in these black and white photographs by Mikaël Theimer. Couples kissing in the streets, in metro – everywhere! There are some hugs thrown into the mix, too!
Theimer bought a camera inspired by the Humans of New York phenomenon and made a Montreal version. “So we continued, and I invested 100% of my energy into photography because it was making me happier than anything else I’d done before,” Theimer wrote on his website. “It’s not so much the photography, it’s the things I’m photographing, the people my camera allows me to meet, the places it takes me, the situations it puts me in, the stories it uncovers. It connects with the world and its inhabitants. And I love it for it.” Previously, we featured Theimer as he tried to get a picture of his girlfriend.
