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.
Nice! But actually pregnancy tests only work inthe first trimester. A friend of mine did thetest in her third trimester (we wanted to use the test as an April Fool’s joke) and it came back negative )joke’s on us). She gave birth to a healthy baby girl two weeks later.

Up there in the hills there are plenty of women that aren't pregnant with bellies like that .
Not all tests determine baby gender. In fact most of the tests are only 65% accurate. Maybe the couple has decided to test for gender. Maybe though, they just found out they don't have hard water! Lol.
"Whant to make sure youre pregnant and not fat? Try X pregnancy test, 99,9% sure" kinda advertising
I think I’ve seen this before on an ad for a home pregnancy test, with a slogan along the lines “When you want to be 100% certain”....sort of like “Yeah you’re pretty sure, but if you wanna be COMPLETELY sure...”
Maybe they had McDonalds and assumed it was just a massive chicken nugget child....
WOW!!! My pregnancy test is positive... We're gonna have another baby after this one is out.... We are fertile dude!
Oh, wait! Yeah, we've only been dating for 3 months, but of COURSE it's your's!

Really? Of only the photo would make that a teeny bit more obvious...

"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!"
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.
Whoever wrote the headline needs to learn the difference between vaguely amusing and hilarious. Even vaguely amusing is a stretch.
Glad to know I'm not alone in the land of the lost. Kind of a Norman Rockwell feel but without getting to a point.
Great shots~ Was there a theme to this, tho? As a whole, I mean. I understand each photo is a different message, but was there a general intention? Just wondering.
Meh. Very well executed but cold. I have the impression that the photographer thinks he's incredibly witty when often he's just a bit of an a*s.
#25 has me really stumped. I think I get a lot of them, but some are just up for personal interpretation, I guess. I'm American, so maybe I just think I "get it", cause Americans can't admit they don't get the joke (except for 1 big ugly orange one).
