Humor in photography is a celebration of timing, wit, and observation. It reveals how the ordinary can become extraordinary through a twist of perspective or a moment of irony. Whether it’s a spontaneous scene on the street, a visual pun in a still life, or a playful juxtaposition that makes us pause and smile, humor invites the viewer to see the world with lighter eyes.

Together, they show how laughter, like light, can come from anywhere — even a pasture, a parking lot, or the open horizon.
