I mean, they could be but just have no idea how lolitas want to look. A lot of fashion photography does use low angles - ASOS do it all the time in their campaigns, for example (pic related is actually a pretty ugly example, but usually theirs don't look this bad). But it gives the impression you're looking up at someone, which is very odd for lolita.

When I take my own photos I am always careful to get the camera nearly eye-level and far enough back, since otherwise you miss details of the coord (hiding the tops of socks if it's too high, making skirt look short and slutty if it's too low), but normies might not even realise those details exist or are important. I guess since I'm short I look more like a high-angle photo to the average person unless they're far away, but I try not to think about that...

I guess the only thing you can do is step back, and try to tilt your face so you either find your light or you're looking down slightly. Your friend that looks good in all photos may have a rare face that looks good from below.
