A funny photo project about books that not everyone will understand (18 photos)

Designer and art director Pierre Beteille created a multifaceted photo project in which he attempted to bring the content of famous literary works to life through facial expressions, gestures, and distinctive outfits.





Good books always draw readers into a new world. Each story becomes reality, and the fate of each character becomes your own. This is the opinion of Pierre Beteille, a designer and art director from Toulouse.

In his free time, Pierre creates self-portraits, in which he uses Photoshop and unbridled imagination to create incredible things—basically, he's having a blast. Pierre masterfully, and not without irony, brought these self-portraits to life, bringing the stories from the page to reality. Facial expressions, gestures, and outfits—all are intended to convey the content of famous works.
