One of those brief stolen kisses in some alley.

I feel quite voyeuristic looking at this shot.

Something quite raw and full of life.

Good capture.

Hi Joni,
This reminds me of Yoshiyuki Kohei's Nocturnal work from the 70's. Only thing different, he was using infrared flash bulbs so they wouldn't see him.

Very cool, gritty voyeuristic shot.

A work that should get much more attention (and rewards !)
It certainly deserves them...
In any aspect - it's a great photography.

If I may be a picky for a moment...
I'd clone out that bright flash spot (in the window behind them)...
It takes one second to fix it, and the photo would be 100% flawless.

All the best, Joni

Stay afloat

You know...I've looked at this shot alot, I've decided I like it alot. Which I suppose, because of my precaution, means I'll like it for a long time. I tend to be spontaneous and jump over initial emotions...but, like good music, patience brings great rewards.
The stark nature is almost cold, if not for the kiss...something about the descovery of the hidden. Great tones.
Something else is extremely attractive here...the rhythem of their arms...the three arched in some sort of ancient symbol. Not only that, but the pipe to the left mirrors the arch of her right arm...really solid man.

Chris.

A stunning image. I am rendered speechless by the quality of this one, and also in general of your photography. A favorite!
