Just do it and do it with confidence. If you project any weakness or fear it will come across as you being creepy and they will react accordingly. If you gigachad it they respond mostly positively. I don't even take photos of people, but I've had strangers request I take a photo of them.

It never gets less uncomfortable, you just get better at ignoring the discomfort.

>first I announce loudly "Alright everyone we're gonna take a picture"
>whip out my 2009 Canon Rebel TI
>I then spend the next 10 minutes sorting people into arbitrary groups and force them to stand awkwardly side by side
>this inevitably starts some weird drama because Susan is upset that we didn't get a photo of all the female cousins in sorted by zodiac sign in reverse alphabetical order and grandma will die without that picture
>I shout smile while setting a 10 second timer
>run to front of crowd
>kneel down weirdly in the front row despite no one else kneeling

Wait to be less crowded or just take it.
The fun thing about taking pictures is that sometimes you can find funny facial expressions in the middle of photo.
