How did photographer Albert Pocej come up with the idea to photograph women while they were orgasming? He dreamed it, he wrote in a boredpanda essay: "I simply woke up and I knew I just had to do it."

He addresses all concerns you might have about the project in that essay. How did he find these women? He reached out via email and got a lot of no's and silence. How did he actually get their expressions in that moment? Time lapse. How did the women orgasm? That's personal.

Regardless, all orgasms pictured are "real." Artistically beautiful photographs of women orgasming below:
