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.

      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.

      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??

        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.
