A funny photo project about books that not everyone will understand

Designer and art director Pierre Beteille created a multifaceted photo project in which he tried to bring the content of famous literary works into reality using facial expressions, gestures and characteristic outfits.

Good books always make readers fully immersed in a new world. And each story becomes reality, and the fate of each character becomes your own. So says Pierre Bethel, a designer and art director from Toulouse.

In his free time from work and projects, Pierre creates self-portraits in which, with the help of Photoshop and unbridled imagination, he does incredible things to himself - in general, he has a blast. Pierre skillfully and not without irony brought them to life and transferred the stories from the pages to reality. Facial expressions, gestures, outfits - all this is designed to convey the content of famous works.
