With the help of AI technology, photographer Alper Yesiltas created a series called 'As If Nothing Happened' that seemingly brings pop culture icons back to life. He generated portraits of celebrities like Princess Diana, Freddie Mercury, Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger and others showing their older versions. Take a look!
