Canadian photographer Francois Brunelle spent 12 years tracking down real life Doppelgängers — two individuals who are not related but could pass for identical twins — and photographing them. He calls his project “I’m Not a Look-Alike,” and it’s starting to get some well-deserved attention.

Am I the only one that thinks most of them don't look that similar?
I feel like that's because we actually get to see them side by side. But if you were friends with one and saw the other as a stranger out in public, say the grocery store, it might warrant a "holy shit, I just saw someone who looks exactly like you," text accompanied by an awkwardly zoomed in picture of them in the frozen foods aisle.
Well they're not literal identical twins
You're not alone, I thought the same thing... They don't look that similar, they would make a really trash "spot the difference" challenge.
Ok now imagine you're the only witness to a crime and the doppleganger walks in. You wouldn't question your recollection??
Bs
True, but probably also true if any person of the same skin tone and haircut walked in.
They look close enough to be fraternal twins to me 🤷🏻
Yeah, maybe in some cases. It does feel like there's a lot of heavy lifting being done by the styling, lighting and angles though.
