Somebody Is Showing How Instagram Photos Are All Starting To Look The Same, And It’s Depressing (New Pics)
If you've seen one Instagram photo, you've seen them all. Social media pages about photography are supposed to display the unique perspectives of artists captured through their lenses, but if you follow enough of them, you might observe an odd trend of deja vu photo ideas - and you would be right. 'Insta Repeat' is an Instagram page that documents the repetition of the same landscape photography shots found on the app in side by side compilations. Perhaps this story might feel like deja vu, that's because we introduced 'Insta Repeat' last year. The page now has 303k followers.
Created by an anonymous 27-year-old from Anchorage, Alaska, the filmmaker and artist told Photoshelter that “A purpose of Insta Repeat is to critique originality in media creation through the lens (pun intended) of this one ‘genre’ of Instagram influencer photography accounts.”
Living in Alaska, a vast wilderness where so many 'adventurers' come to take cool photos, she was struck by how the same few places and scenarios kept showing up again and again on her feed of beautiful photoshoot ideas. “I have noticed it in general on a lot of different platforms and media and have been guilty of it myself for sure,” she told Bored Panda. “Artists and creators fall into patterns. But I think that what is happening on Instagram is more extreme.” Scroll down below to see the newest insta repeat photos, and don't forget to upvote your favs!

Don't you people watch the news, and hear of people and their insta photo fails?!? I just don't understand the risk!
Facebook and YouTube are the only other platforms that have more people that log on than Instagram. Out of Instagram’s 1 billion monthly active users, more than 500 million of them use the platform every day.

I like these but I've never seen a flashlight that cast a beam like these. They look more like light sabers.

What do you think ?

I don't see any problems with this. Most of them are really nice pictures. Very little is original in this world. It's amusing to see just how similar they are, but that doesn't make them any less pretty.

Agree. If I could I would make a set of this pics with me as protagonist i would love it.

Honestly, what I find even more upsetting than the similarities it's the fact that instagram was supposed to be a way for an average to take a quick photo with their phone, slap a filter on it and post. Instead those pictures are taken by professional photographers using professional equipment, photoshopped into oblivion and then posted with a #livinginthemoment

its nice to take photos and all, but going in a place just to take photos, and spend one hour doing only that, well you lose the point. im sure most of them just forget to have fun or actually notice the scenery around them.

And it is wrong? Those places are beautiful. If I got the chance to visit them, I'd probably take similar picture too..

As a photographer I can see a great variety of pictures, showing that even in the same place, with the same frame, the vibes and aesthetic can be very different.
