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.

Very cool, I wonder how he finds the matches.
It’s Canada we all look the same buddy .
He’s not your buddy, guy.
He’s not your guy, friend.
He’s not your friend, pal.
He’s not your pal, dude.
He’s not your dude, lad .
He’s not your lad, mate.
This dude is trying to categorize all the different NPC variants.
We always joked about this when I worked at a really busy pizza place, how around the corner er all the npcs would spawn and sometimes you’d get the same one in a row just rendered a different color outfit
And this illustrates a problem of using facial recognition databases as a security measure. False positives lead to false convictions.
Would be an interesting test set for categorising the accuracy of such software.
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.
When I was a young man I went on vacation to another city, and while there I was constantly approached by people who wanted to buy drugs from me. Apparently I had a doppelganger in that city who was a street corner drug dealer.
This used to happen to me literally everywhere I went. Sometimes you just give off a drug dealer vibe I guess?
For what it’s worth, I’m a bit odd because I’m autistic, and I’ve never touched a drug my doctor didn’t prescribe in my life.
They were calling me by a different name, so I’m pretty sure I looked like a known dealer. It was really weird, and kinda scary since several of the people that approached me were obviously in withdrawals and didn’t believe me that I had no idea what they were talking about.
So what did you sell them?
Their faces often match but their jawlines don’t.
The mustache people are cheats.
Very cool and all, but why are all the doppelgangers in deep love with each other?
If I was sure I wasn’t related to them, banging my doppelganger would be a very interesting experience.
A few of them look so much alike, it’s uncanny.
News flash, none of us are as unique as we think.
Except me. I’m definitely unique. Right?
Just like everyone else!
None of us is as unique
Boy, a couple of his pics are lookin creepy.
What’s with the poses haha, it’s making me so uncomfortable.
Effing fantastic. Lol
Two people that look alike but aren’t related. That’s what I’m talking about!
Tbh I’d be totally interested to find my doppelganger(s) from around the world. Just kinda like a neat experiment/experience.
Somebody face-swap them all.

Damn, I was thinking he had some kind of doppelganger-finding method worked out. Kinda wanted to call him and be like “find mine”
I guess I deleted my comment because in the OP title it says the photographer has found 200 couples. But at his website it only shows photos of six couples.
Its almost like we’re all human beings. Jokes aside, I think this project is cool AF
