Here I present a series of photos

What inspired me was the photo, the mythical photo of   Robert Doisneau  mythical kiss of the couple on the street outside the Paris station.  This photo is a picture of the  story of photography, of the history of street photography.

It made me create a series of photographs of how people express themselves, how freely they kiss in public.  Observing the public space for years, this series of photographs was created that demonstrates how people, lovers move and express themselves by kissing each other spontaneously in public space.

 By observing people  ''in love'' over long periods of time and in different parts of the world I created this series of photographs.

        This series of photographs highlights and records an aspect of the behaviors and movement of the human body in the public space of people ''in love'' and how they are expressed through kissing in our time...  How the need for tenderness, the need for closeness is expressed in the public space....        Today's age is the age of individuality, the age of coldness, alienation and tenderness is not shown in public,           people don't talk to each other, they don't greet each other like they used to and they definitely don't kiss in public      This need made me search in public space how and if two people in love kiss in public space...
