I Transformed Models Into Iconic People
12Kviews
The photographic project ICONIC began in 2016 and evolved since then into a huge work of art and passion.
With the help of a fashion designer Lucie Vervellea and a visual and make-up artist Joris Souris, I was able to recreate with innovation and accuracy more than 150 photos of artistic and historic figures who shaped the world as we know it.
In order to make the project flawless, artistic and physiognomic skills were required but also historic and biographic knowledge on each icon.
Here's a mesmerizing glimpse of this work down below. You can also check out my work on the website below and even pre-order the book here.

Frida Kahlo
Freddie Mercury
Carrie Fisher
Pablo Picasso
Twiggy
Fabulous. Absolutely fabulous. Twiggy was a true sign of changing time.
Adolf Hitler
Seriously, very good likeness. I just feel for someone who looks like Hitler.

The flame of the French National Front instead of the Swastika... well done
my god. of all of them, this one really touched a nerve. to think of the mind behind the eyes of the world's most famous serial killer, and all of the atrocities he committed
He is iconic due to the fact that he was a dictator, serial killer, etc.

Ray Charles
Frank Sinatra
Napoléon
I actually love this. His posture, the clouds in the background. Very thoughtful piece.
Jackie Kennedy
white gloves would have been a dramatic touch. Still, a powerful image though.
Elizabeth Taylor
This is a very powerful visual and a deep statement on Elizabeth's power and beauty if the day.
Bob Marley
David Bowie
Madonna
Louis Xiv
Maria Callas
Audrey Hepburn
The model looks like that singer Ariana Grande, but she is hardly iconic, unlike Hepburn.
Grace Jones
Charlie Chaplin
Mohamed Ali
Jeanne D'arc
I could be wrong, but my humble opinion is that this is not an accurate representation of the spirit of Jeanne D'arc. Fishnets? Really? This is the only one of these I didn't care for though.
Alfred Hitchcock
Salvador Dalí
Marilyn Monroe
Nope. Doesn't not do MM justice although it is a pretty picture of whomever this girl is.
Nina Simone
Coco Chanel
Le Petit Prince
Alice In Wonderland
She looks a little too elfish and knowing, Alice is supposed to be innocent and perhaps a touch naive.
Yves Saint-Laurent
Jesus De Nazareth
I'm sad for the people that were offended, but giiiiiiiilllls, I just found religion...
Elvis Presley
It looks like a plastic doll. No charisma, no expression ... sigh ... what a pity, Elvis is dead
Evita
Nice pic, but it looks more like the portrayal of Madonna's portrayal of Evita than Evita herself.
Johnny Hallyday
Prince
Catherine Deneuve
Sorry not the LEAST resemblance ... and not even 0.1 percent of this fabulous womans charisma ... I'm sure the artist could do better 😊
please make the beatles!
Done ;) on my Book ;)
I realized in quite 170 photos! Here you have only an extract! The rest of photos is in the book of ICONIC
There are some AMAZING likenesses here! Some made me wonder if they'd just taken the real photograph and tried to trick us! Super Job!!! ;-)
exactly my thought!
To all the people who clammered on about how this person didn't look enough like so and so or that person didn't have the spark of such and such....really? Seriously? STFU. They're NOT the actual people so OF COURSE they don't look like them. In the cases that they do it's a major bonus but why do you have to go charging in with your negativity? Just shut up and look at the photos and by the way, why does everyone want to criticize everything? God, so rude.
Just curious why Jackie O had to be covered in blood. They didn't show Jimi Hendrix or Janis Joplin OD'd, so it doesn't make sense. There are so many classy, beautiful pics of her that they could have done, but picked her most heart wrenching moment to portray?
this is the best I've seen all day. Great job
