Chicago photographer Jedediah Johnson has made waves in the world of images with his provocative series Makeout Project, in which he photographs subjects immediately after making out with them.

"I am inspired by the index," he explains. "That is the mark left behind as evidence of action or presence. Lipstick marks point to a very familiar intimate contact that I knew many people could relate to on one level or another. Plus, I thought it would be fun to kiss a lot of people. I was kind of right."
