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."
Now all I can think of is bunches of parsley in their ears.....

Everyone else has their fingers in their ears but the old folks are deaf.
"It's always the old to lead us to the war It's always the young to fall", from 'I Ain't Marching Anymore' by Phil Ochs
War as entertainment, to distract us from what is really going on
"Sir, we've received reports that Private Ryan is over the hill, just past the Lawn Bowls club." "Okay, men! Let's move out!"
There's always a few in every crowd who isn't connected with reality
"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).
