Arjan Benning is a photographer out of Amsterdam who has captured men dressed up in 17th century attire mid-sneeze. Why has he done this? Unfortunately I can’t come up with any real explanation, but one thing is for sure, their faces will cause you to let out a chuckle. I bet I know what they used for tissue.
The 17th century-inspired shoot is a departure for Arjan Benning, whose usual work involves unusual depictions of otherwise ordinary looking people.
