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.

Cool idea, but like most of these people don't look alike at all. Completely different noses, jaws, chins, eyes, etc.

I think he's going for a more subtle similarity. Like they look like they could be related but necessarily twins.

If they looked exactly alike it wouldn’t even be interesting. You could just photograph actual twins
