32 Hilariously Clever Photographs From Award Winning Photographer Arthur Mebius
Arthur Mebius captures moments through a comedic lens. The best photography award winner creates one frame stories where he seeks to show the "past, present and future" in a single funny photo.
Mebius has worked in photography for over 15 years and has created signature hilarious image plots for advertising agencies large and small. The artist even produces film projects and says he can shoot 25 frames per second when briefed accordingly, "The stories that I like to shoot can be funny, curious, compelling, filled with plot twists or all at once."
When you look at the eclectic portfolio of Mebius, it isn't hard to see why he has been recognized by the likes of D&AD, ADC, Cannes, Epica and the PANL Sony Award. And though his works include quite a lot of photo editing, he still manages to portray the scenarios in a highly believable way. In addition to his commercial advertising gigs, the photographer stays busy with numerous personal projects.

It's from an advert for a pregnancy test. No-one seemed to get that is was supposed to be a joke (when you really really REALLY want to be sure), so was a massive advertising fail.
"This wasn't what I was thinking when they said I could get rock-hard abs."
"Our other horse is a unicorn. Stacey, come out of the bathroom and bring Majesty with you!"
Love the composition, but I didn't get a lot of them. I can tell he's a foreign photographer and perhaps they are over my head. Maybe some comments will shed light!
I am Dutch and I don't get most of them either
Hm.. I think the photographer is Dutch? I'm from Lithuania and I don't get quite a few of those either, so you are not alone:))
I'm Dutch and fail to see the humour in them.
The Duch obviously have a unique sense of humour
Glad I´m not the only one.
I'm a clueless American, and a few went over my head. What was up with the airline stewardess and pilots ?
I think the baby one was the easy one hehe
Stock photography at its dumbest.
I was taught in the art school if the audience can't understand the message in the art - it's a fail for the artist. What's the point spreading a message which noone understands. I see this as a desparate and failed attempt to be original or funny.

What "art school" did you go to? I mean really? how fucking stupid is that when you parse it. Unreal. "Art" school. News flash, people are still interpreting great art and artists because meaning is subtle, hidden, and often complex. jesus h christ. fuck. This is making me mad. Stoopid.
