Most couples try all kinds of romantic tricks to keep their love alive,
but Japanese photographer Haruhiko Kawaguchi takes a more literal
approach to showing and preserving the love between two people – he
wraps them in plastic, sucks out the air and takes photos of their
distorted bodies.
These bizarre images of lovers huddled together in weird positions in
vacuumed plastic wrap show two people “packaged” in a 100 by 150 by 74
centimeter plastic bag the artist buys off of the Internet. After
carefully arranging their body parts so he can get the best shot,
Kawaguchi uses a vacuum cleaner to suck out all the air and make the subjects look like a pack of packaged meat you buy at the supermarket.
It takes about 10 to 20 seconds for him to take the photographs, during
which time the shrink wrapped couple has to endure the pressure and lack
of air, but it's all in the name of love. Surprisingly and thankfully,
no one has been harmed!
I am for couples who try all sorts of things to keep their love lives alive but this looks dangerous and scary. I can't even look at the pictures without holding my breath!

As much as I'd love to be a part of a shoot like this, I can't seem to bring myself up to it. I find these sets of pictures both fascinating and creepy. I like couples who take time away from regular life to do something different. I believe it is what spices up a love life and I admire these couples for doing these. Do you think the pictures are cool or creepy? drop a comment!
