Jules Ober
Author & Illustrator of Children’s Fiction
based in VIC
Jules Ober is a photographic illustrator and co-author of numerous prize-winning children’s books. She and Pierre-Jacques Ober have developed a unique visual storytelling style using photographs of miniature figurines. Sometimes these figurines are placed in miniature sets that have been constructed for the story, and sometimes they are integrated into our everyday surroundings. Whether exploring the vagaries of war, the feeling of being small in a big world, our interconnectedness with nature, or simply embarking on a fantastical journey, these stories help us to see the world differently.
Jules has been a photographer for 40 years. Her images feature in exhibitions across Europe, showing a fresh approach to photographic storytelling in children’s literature. Her books have been published and awarded internationally, including winning the NSW Premier’s Young People’s History Prize, Prix Sorcière and Prix HIP (France), and have been included in the CBCA shortlist and notable books. Books include ‘The Good Son’, ‘Jacqueline’, Mimi, Princesse Rebelle’, ‘Rockpooling with Pup’, Tarni’s Chance’, ‘The Steadfast Tin Soldier in the Land of the Yokai’.
