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.

    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.
