Photography in the news - Everybody does have a twin.

This week I had a little help from my sister as it was her who had come across this article, and thought that I would be interested.

It is about a photographer, Francois Brunelle, who has studied peoples faces since he became a photographer in 1968 when he was 18. He has produced some amazing portraits of people who at  first glance seem to be twins, but are in fact unrelated. He says that "the portraits allow him to explore the intimate relationship between subjects and how they approach their remarkably similar appearances".

 

 

 

 

 

The project is called I'm not a look-a-like and shows people with North American and European backgrounds. People are still being invited to come forward until the project ends next year.

 

 

I love the idea of this project and studying peoples faces closely rather than randomly snapping you can really get a feel for the research that has lead up to each image. I am still working on creating my own personal project.
