>>4039116Any photographer worth their weight in salt can take a good photo anywhere. I feel like you dont fit in with the people around you. Judging by how you write you probably don't and will feel uncomfortable taking photos in those areas, I hope you know that awareness of your circumstances doesn't automatically make you a better person
Most photographers that travel love that third world shit makes them feel like they're bringing awareness to "the real issues and shit" you your self live in it you should be able to capture your people living life with what they have
You will get harassed by some thugs at some point just say some artsy shit about capturing the essence of your people or whatever and let them know you're no snitch if they say no well then leave. Go somewhere else
Go out to your town interact with the place ask people that are doing interesting things if you can take their photo if you got money give them a couple dollars or cigs before you know it nobody is going to give a shit if they see you around taking photos
If you're afraid of getting robbed you can go out with a friend, make your camera look cheap or damaged with some tape
