Kawaguchi, from Tokyo, covers the lovebirds in lube then vacuum packs
them together in a huge plastic bag - sucking out all the oxygen and he has just four seconds to take the shots..
He even keeps a paramedic on hand as the suffocated couples hold their breath
He has been flooded with requests from couples - and even
newlyweds - for the odd portrait and wedding pictures.
Hal, from Japan, said: 'I decided to vacuum pack couples as a way to show how close and in love they are.
'At first I
chat with the couples and tell them what will happen. A rehearsal is
carried out without going into a bag at first. Then, they climb into the
bag. It likes assembling a puzzle.
'I suck the air out with a vacuum cleaner until there's none left. This gives me 4 seconds to take the shot.
'In this
extremely limited time I can't release the shutter more than
twice.They're never in danger though as I have a rescue body guard on
hand at all times.'
Hal uses lube and coolant gel to slide the couples inside the bag and ensure there's no friction with the plastic.
