A photographer roamed the streets of Paris and Montreal taking these beautiful, unposed photos of couples kissing

Most people roll their eyes at public displays of affection. But not street photographer Mikaël Theimer, whose ongoing project "Street Love" shows couples embracing and kissing on city streets. We first spotted Theimer's work on The Huffington Post.

The Paris-born photographer who lives in Montreal takes unposed photos of loved-up couples, usually when they're not looking, in both cities.

"If I get caught taking the picture, I'll usually just smile and say 'hi,' and if I feel they're wondering what the hell I just did, then I'll go explain," Theimer told Business Insider via email. "But most of the time, when they see me taking a picture, people smile back."

Theimer's black-and-white photos convey the affectionate exchanges that happen around us everyday, from infatuated youngsters making out in a bar to a couple saying goodbye at the train station.

"I just love to capture these little and beautiful moments," he said. "I find we're so immersed in our own little bubbles, we miss on everything that makes everyday life beautiful."
