It is not everyday that people witness full on making out sessions as captured in this photo series of French kissing couples. Aptly titled 'Snog,' it focuses on not only on different techniques, but, more importantly, on the variety of different couples out there. From gay couples to old couples, the photographer did not discriminate.
The series of French kissing couples was shot by Rankin, a publisher, director and commercial photographer living and working in London, England. Zooming in so that the people stay nearly anonymous in the images, the photo series hones in on the intensity of each kiss. Passionate French kissing couples is something many people can appreciate even if PDA isn't socially acceptable. It will inspire people to grab their own partners just as passionately.
