Many public figures who have passed away will always remain etched in our memories for their uniqueness and their talent. To honor them, photographer and lawyer Alper Yesiltas recently unveiled portraits of celebrities created with artificial intelligence, depicting what they would look like if they were still alive today.

Entitled “As if nothing had happened”, the series of portraits is quite stunning because it gives the impression that all the people selected have passed in front of the lens of the creative of Turkish origin. Surprised to see all that it was possible to create thanks to artificial intelligence, he made it a point of honor to obtain portraits as realistic as possible.

For this, he used several pieces of software, including Remini, which improves the quality of photos using technology, as well as Lightroom and the VSCO application, which are generally intended to rework images in post-production. Thus, among the celebrities chosen, we find the artists Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, John Lennon, and Amy Winehouse, the actors Bruce Lee and Heath Ledger, but also the unforgettable Lady Diana.

We let you discover below the portraits of missing personalities imagined by Alper Yesiltas, which can be found on Instagram. This is an opportunity for us to (re)share with you the creations of Internet user Hidrėlėy Diao who also imagined a few months ago the current portraits of missing personalities using AI.
