Photographer François Brunelle has spent the last 25 years traveling the world looking for unrelated people who look like twins. He’s been remarkably successful! The photographer has found hundreds of doppelgängers since he began in 1999. He’s captured more than 250 pairs in 32 cities. That’s a lot! These days, facial recognition software makes the search a lot easier, but in 1999, all he had to rely upon was his own brain. How on earth does he retain all those faces well enough to realize he’d found their double?

According to a fascinating documentary by Origin, it is estimated that each of us have the same face as about 7 other people. Can you imagine? I certainly can’t.

You can follow Francois Brunelle on his website and on Instagram and Facebook. Also, I’ve posted the Origin documentary below the photos. Cool stuff!
