...or if they were just two of Lamberty's friends he had recruited for the task. The way someone kisses can say a lot...to the person they're kissing. But how much can it tell an observer about the nature of their relationship? Check out these pics and see for yourself.
Part of what keeps the allure alive is the fact that Lamberty STILL hasn't revealed which of the kissers are real...

Were any NEW couples made after two people participated in this exercise? I'd put my money on "yes."

Said the photographer himself:

"It was interesting to see how the different couples reacted. It seemed to be more challenging for the ‘real’ couples because it was rather intimate for them than for the friends who kissed ‘just for fun.’ All in all, we all had a blast creating these pictures."
