Is it possible to make strangers feel affection and even love for one another in a matter of minutes?

Apparently.

A New York city photographer was able to ask strangers on the street to pose as though they’re couples, friends or family.

The end result was heart-warming, not just for the models themselves, but for those watching. One would never be able to guess at all, by these beautiful photographs, that they were taken of strangers.
