I am sure, most of us have explored avenue's of creativity to express their relationship. Every couple wants to capture the eternal feeling of oneness that stands the test of time- a beautiful picture.

Its pretty obvious to have goosebumps with reimagining precious time spent together, seeking special pictures. This has given a career feed to emerging couple photographers. One such but 'Jara hatke ' is - Haruhiko Kawaguchi, popularly known as 'Hal photographer'.

Photographer Hal has now been internationally lauded for his amazing photography skills and out of box concepts. And now this Tokyo based artist has come up with his new series - " Flesh Love".

In conversation with Vice - Haruhiko Kawaguchi says- " To embrace your lover, sometimes you wish to melt right into them. To realize this wish, I've been photographing couples in small, cramped spaces. Soon I reached the point of photographing couples in vacuum-sealed packs. As my work has become more and more intense, I've noticed that communication is indispensable."

Recollecting his initial days, he adds it was pretty difficult to convince complete strangers or to even get volunteers as the concept was quite extreme. Moreover, taking out oxygen and sealing within a cramped space requires an advance paramedical assistance.

I just persuaded couples sincerely to try out this experience. While shooting the assistants are ready to open the bag if there is an emergency or any partner feels suffocated. And an active involvement of paramedical makes sure that an oxygen sprayer and gel is provided to pacify people if anyone starts feeling sick.

Haruhiko Kawaguchi, affirms that almost 400 couples have participated in his claustrophobic photography concept- Flesh Love.
