So each star is a unique photo-op?

Correct. Every possible animation and interaction that a Pokemon has while they're on the course is designated a star level. So as you're taking pictures, they'll always be sorted into four groups. 1 star is normal behavior like a common pose, or just standing there doing nothing. 4 stars are generally the most special interactions, often an interaction with another Pokemon or the environment that you have to set up with your tools. Of course looking back through this topic, I can see how it wouldn't be clear from the pictures because these are some crappy 4 stars.

Lycanroc's 4 star is doing a happy reaction after eating an apple, which is more commonly commonly 2 stars for most Pokemon.
Heracross is confusing if you haven't seen it because it's an interaction that can be 3 or 4 stars depending on how you take the shot.
Ledian is a an easy interaction (just light the flower and they come out) so I personally think it doesn't make sense for it to be 4 stars.

Usually the 4 star shots are more interesting!

I guess you can think of it as, like, not necessarily rarer from a gameplay perspective, but in-universe, Pokemon behaviors that would be more unusual to see out in the wild.
