Portraits of Unrelated Doppelgangers

by twistedsifter

 

I’m not a look-alike! is a project by Canadian photographer François Brunelle. His goal is to take 200 photographs of doppelgangers around the world (he’s half way there) with the hopes of turning the series into a book and international exhibit.

Brunelle is fascinated by the resemblance between two unrelated people. On his site, he states:

“It is not about looking like famous people. The project is about looking like other people. The fact that two persons, totally unrelated to each other, sometimes born in different countries, share the same physical appearance is really the essence of the project.”

 

If you or someone you know would like to be involved in the project you can reach out to Francois via email at info@francoisbrunelle.com. You can also find him on Facebook and learn more about the project at his official site.
