Gerald Förster’s ‘Nocturnal’ photo series captures couples making whoopie out in public at night in New York City, Miami and Los Angeles. Apparently, this phenomenon is more widespread than you might imagine.
In an interview with Don’t Panic Magazine, Gerald Förster explains that while the photos for ‘Nocturnal’ are staged, the acts that inspired them are not: “Sex is an all day, all night activity. It happens inside behind closed doors or outside in the most obscure places. It surrounds us at any given time.”
