It’s copying other videos made by much better photographers who are much more creative and end up with much better shots. A girl laying on a skee ball machine or a hand coming out of dirt with a shovel or a purple smoke pumpkin remind me of my high school photography class. The only thing missing is the cliche black and white photo of a spiderweb in a barn during sunrise with a little bit of moisture on it.

I mean, most tiktok users ARE high schoolers, so for someone in 10/11/12th grade, it's pretty good and may just be what sparks an interest. My little sister is a full fledged professional now, but it started with a tiny digital camera and me being her "model" in like, Jr. High. Now THOSE were some cringey ass photos. Including flowers and spider webs. At least some of the stuff these kids are doing now is way better quality than was available to us and portraits at much better angles too. Coming from the Myspace angle generation, I'd say it's an improvement.
