This photographer not only creates situations that are unique and comical -- but sends you to a surreal universe in just a glance. John Wilhelm lives in Switzerland with the subjects of many of his works --his girlfriend and three daughters, he's also an IT director in the university there. His hobby is art. Aside from being technically perfect, his eccentric portraits each tell a story which will have you dumbfounded, but pining for more.
What is felt in John's artwork is his thorough attention to detail and execution: John has a vision and doesn't settle for anything less than his goals. It is hard to find someone who is both this creative and motivated, while also having the skill to produce such powerful results. Take note of the expressions he captures as well as his post production. His exceptional work had to be shared.

Every Dad needs a spaghetti shot. Here is my little one.
Maybe I'm just not blinded by pics of little kids. Some of the ideas are amusing, but the execution is nothing to write home about. Am I missing something?

Totally agree!
Great ideas and amazing work John. The clarity of these images viewed online is awesome. The texture of the skin is amazing.
Photos are decent to start and the finished products are fun to look at, but the lack of consistent Photoshop is a bit bothersome. Seems he knows enough to be dangerous, but doesn't take enough time to understand how light and shadows act when he's adding them in post.
Or focal length, perspective, and scale
Love it.
