Alper Yesiltas, a photographer and attorney, imagined what deceased celebrities may look like if they were alive today or if key events hadn’t occurred to them in his series “As If Nothing Happened.”
To put it mildly, the findings are fascinating, especially considering how breathtakingly precise several of the photographs feel. There is little doubt as to why the artist, who is located in Istanbul, has nearly 80,000 followers on Instagram, where he has been posting the pictures.

Just a few weeks ago, the artist started uploading the pictures to his Instagram. The general public is already enthralled. John Lennon appeared in one of the first pictures he posted. It’s so realistic it could almost be a real photo!
“When I started tinkering with the technology,” the artist explained in an interview with My Modern Met, “I saw what I could do and thought about what would make me the happiest: I wanted to see some of the people I missed again in front of me.” It’s no surprise that his work is quickly captivating viewers around the globe.
While most of his work features celebrities who passed away, some shows what they may have looked like without plastic surgery. Take a look at this image of Madonna below.
