Akob Kim is a photographer who promotes his work on TikTok and has found a format that's consistently pulling views.
He only photographs airplanes, but he found a distinctive way to show it though slideshows.
The first slide is always a photo of him, taken from far away, photographing a plane in the sky.
In big text, you read "what I see". On top of that same image, a small frame is drawn around the plane, and On top that frame, in smaller text, it says "what I take".
The next slide reveals the actual photo he took.
From there, the pattern repeats-> always a-b, a-b, a-b
