Canadian photographer Chris Buck's photography series ISN’t portraits celebrity look-a-likes that simply aren’t (isn’t). I have seen many celebrity look a-like photos before but never they have been done so brilliantly.
“A lot of celebrity portraits tend to be nice pictures of the celebrity looking presentable; they tend to be more glamorous than curious, but I lean more toward the curious.”, Chris explains. “People often look a bit uneasy or uncomfortable in my pictures. In a way, I find vulnerability more interesting than confidence. It’s not that I want people to look bad, but I think humanity is shown more through vulnerability than through heroism. I think a lot of portraits look heroic, and as a viewer I don’t find it interesting to look at a picture of someone celebrating himself as a great person in a literal way.”
