Having a family portrait taken by Haruhiko Kawaguchi comes with one unusual condition: That he wrap your entire house in plastic and then vacuum-seal you into an airtight bag.

" contain a message of connection with the outside world and express love for everything equally," he said, adding:"We pack everything in the background to represent the social connection that the subjects have to the outside world, not just to themselves."

For his earlier series, "Flesh Love Returns," Kawaguchi asked couples to be photographed in places that were meaningful to them.Kawaguchi admitted that some people"feel claustrophobic" when looking at his photos. And he is all too aware of how suffocating it feels to be enclosed inside one of the airtight bags -- because he has tried it out himself.

Finding volunteers among his friends , Kawaguchi began"Flesh Love" as a way to"to visualize the intimacy and love" between couples, he said. The photographer worked with subjects to find positions that eliminated the gaps between their lubricated -- and sometimes completely naked -- bodies, before removing air from the bag using a vacuum cleaner.

"I still don't know exactly what love is, but I don't think it's only about distance," he added."Surprisingly, I sometimes feel that the subjects don't look very intimate, even if their bodies are completely close to each other. The reverse is also true."
