Photographer Jedediah Johnson Catalogues His Subject’s Faces after Making out with Them

Jedediah Johnson is a professional Chicago based photographer who creates a unique and amazing series of pictures called “The Make-Out Project”, by experimenting with bright lipstick kisses. Young and old, men and women, you name it…..everyone is included in his unorthodox photography series.

For each picture, Jedediah Johnson puts his hands softly around the subject’s neck and then proceeds to the kiss, after the kiss he instantly snaps the subject’s reaction and condition. He writes on his official blog “The kisses vary in length and intimacy. My subjects are all aware of what I’m going to do ahead of time, but in the moment of the kiss anything can happen. The lipstick mark I leave on my subjects invites viewers to imagine the circumstances surrounding the kiss.”
