Gen Z is known for many things: being the most racially and ethnically diverse generation in US history, being open-minded and passionate about social issues, having a seemingly innate understanding of TikTok, and growing up with access to smartphones and the internet from a very young age. This young generation has many skills that are useful in the workplace and in their personal lives, one of which they’ve recently been applauded for online is their ability to take excellent photos.

Zoomers know the angles, filters, apps and strategies for taking the most flattering and impressive pics, and recently, many people of older generations have been sharing proof of these photog skills on Twitter. Be sure to upvote all of the pictures that you know you wouldn’t be able to take yourself, if you’re a millennial or older, and let us know in the comments what you appreciate most about this young, technologically savvy generation. 

Keep reading to also find interviews with Cath Proctor and Catherine Sneed, two of the millennials who participated in this conversation on Twitter. Then, if you’d like to check out another Bored Panda article discussing what makes Gen Z unique, you can find that right here!

    Wow! Don't know which is more impressive, the selfie or getting 42 family members to behave while she did it!

    He's not in awe, he's thinking 'Those aren't penguins. Does my mum not know what a penguin is? Oh god how should I tell her? Or should I just keep quiet and let her enjoy the moment? I mean what's the worst that can happen - it's not like she's going to tweet this out and show the whole world she doesn't know what a penguin is, right?'

    They both have different things to recommend them. Can see your face so much better in the first one. But that looking up frame is always great.

    That's not a generational difference. That's just evidence some people don't take good pictures.

    I don't think the tattoo on their leg is a whale. Maybe a mermaid or a fish?

    I don't agree that the photo on the left is "awful". It just seems like the photographer had different priorities in each. The one on the left wanted to see the people. With the one on the right, I am not sure why there are people in it at all. Any color, contrast issues can be dealt with post shooting.

    This framing at 45 degrees is so popular lately and in the same time soo unbalanced and not pleasant to the eye. But this is just my person opinion. (Thank you David Zeller, I corrected the sentence, I replaced clasic with popular).
