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!

I don't think this is as bad as some of the others, I think taking a picture of a person in front of pretty scenery is a pretty common way to take pictures, in and outside of Instagram

The World Record of the most liked picture on Instagram goes to a video of an egg cracking itself. Created with the intention of booting Kylie Jenner from the top spot, who had over 50 million likes for a photo of her with Stormi Webster.

I get the sameness of the photos, but these are gorgeous and I am having quite a bit of wanderlust looking at these.

Under-25-year-olds use Instagram 32 minutes a day compared to that of people 25 years and older who use it 24 minutes per day. This is more than before thanks to Instagram Stories. This update is another reason the app has managed to surpass Snapchat.

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

This bridge IS so cool! If I went there I would take the exact same photo, but with a dog. If I ever had a dog.

ok, i realize that's probably the best way to photograph a person in front of a waterfall, but why are some many of them wearing a yellow raincoat?

Again, I don't think these are a bad or an Instagram fad, I think taking pics of someone in the woods is pretty normal and doesn't mean they're copying each other.

I've found for myself a good rule: before doing something potentially dangerous ask yourself if people would laugh after reading the cause of death on your tombstone.
