Portraits of unrelated Doppelgangers who have found their match!

http://www.visualnews.com/2013/11/09/portraits-unrelated-doppelgangers-found-match/

Fascinated with the idea that two totally unrelated people can look like twins, photographer Francois Brunelle set out to take portraits of 200 doppelgangers. This beautiful black and white series began when he photographed a pair of friends who looked as though they were identical twins that had been separated at birth. Although most of his photos so far have been taken in North America, Brunelle is now taking his I’m Not a Look-Alike! project around the globe to create a book and international exhibit. He has already been looking for look-alikes in Australia!

SEE ALSO JOURNALIST ON A MISSION TO FIND HER DOPPELGANGER

On his website, Brunelle explains:

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.

Check out more doppelganger portraits and stay tuned as Brunelle approaches his goal of photographing 200 pairs on his website and Facebook. If Sophie Robhemed, the journalist on the hunt for her doppelganger, has met her match, she should reach out to Francois Brunelle for a photo shoot.

She is very productive, which is visible when looking at the various websites she has, including herweblog filled with amazing images and personal stories of her photographic life. Nirrimi has already done the winter campaign for Diesel in New York. Her work is fresh, youthfull and sexy, but at the same time they are very mature and professional. The following images come from her portfolio's For Love, For Living and For Money.

Inspiring work, but also just something new for your dashboard!

Riitta Päiväläinen

"Finnish photographer Riitta Päiväläinen uses discarded clothing from second-hand shops and flea markets to carry silent, unknown stories and histories.  By freezing the garment or letting the wind fill it with air, she is able to create a sculptural space, which reminds her of its former user. 

“The unavoidable fact that I will never know the actual story and personal histories connected with the clothes arouses my curiosity. The clothes remain silent, withholding their secrets. Little by little, personal histories are absorbed into the collective history.” "

-it's an interesting concept, and I love the accompanying images:

Day 19
