Carey Celebrates Literature 2024: Jules & Pierre Jacques Ober

Bio

Pierre-Jacques (author) and Jules Ober (photographer) are a French/Australian creative duo who tell stories by re-imagining history through photography of toy figurines placed in miniature sets. Their first two books, The Good Son and Jacqueline – a soldier’s daughter, have won prizes (notably the NSW Premier’s Young Persons History prize, CBCA short and long lists) in Australia and France for their totally original visual style and their ability to entertain and move audiences, young and old. Jules has made two other books using photography of miniatures: Tarni’s Chance and Rockpooling with Pup for younger readers.
