Yes, literally yes. I can’t even focus if there are cars driving around me. I need complete and utter solitude to do my art.

At this point no. I know what I'm doing and I know that people really don't care. I pulled over on a rural road to photograph some cornfields the other day. A farm girl and an older guy pulled up in a pickup and asked what I was doing. I just told them I was taking pictures and they recommended a spot nearby where they'd seen a bald eagle recently. Don't be overly concerned with people thinking you're a creep or something that will just become a self fulfilling prophecy.

Went out full of joy and optimism when starting out. It was other people that ruined it. Stinkeyes everywhere. Now just pretend I'm with one of the local papers. Thanks for all the free goodwill you fucks.

This. People fuck off when they see the camera. "Oh, he's a photographer, okay". Also being a sperg helps, since i'm often clueless

As a rule I dress smart casual since my mid 20s. I also hit the gym to stay lean (still working on some excess fat on my belly).
When I go out to take pictures people look at me with curiosity. Mainly because I am focused at what I am doing and look like a professional (I manage the media department of a company so its not far from the truth).
Had several people give me curious looks and approach me and had some great conversations. I think what you wear and how you present yourself is important. Feeling comfortable in your own skin is a big bonus.
Picrel is close to my style, not a fan of the short chinos or super tight faggoty pans. I mostly wear blazers instead of sweaters

Only when I feel that I'm judged for what I'm doing. I often sense that people would think, why the fuck does he take a picture of that?

But otherwise as long as I don't get into anyones faces I try to not to care too much.

Sorry that you never went out of the comfort zone of your moms basement. Hit the gym instead of spreading your poison anon and while at it get some psychiatric help
>>4246205
Expected this kind of response from at least one anon. These kind of guys never post anything of substance and just spread BS on /p/

That being said I met quiet a few photographers mainly due to my job and some photowalks I joined. The older Boomer guys are fucking cool to talk to and seriously love their hobby. Its especially nice to chat with them about their good old analogue days. Most of these guys also dont appear like creeps.
There are however some 40+ guys out there that I met who straight out are smelly disheveled guys and look like they belong to a sec offender list. You just know they want to do boudoir because they are pervs..

Dressing cleanly is always good, but it seems like self-confidence and friendliness will be the main deciding factors on how you're perceived most of the time. If your demeanor is awkward and unengaging, you won't get very far even if you look presentable. It can't be helped if some people are unreasonable, but it's important to learn how to handle those scenarios with class. Basically, just act like you're supposed to be there.

The example in >>4246056 is a good one. He even got a tip for another good photo spot out of it. Don't let people smell your fear.

>>4246115
Lol, still no response for >>4246134. That's what I thought, bitch.

I wear whatever I've got on hand, usually a long sleeved button down rolled up or a wool base layer. Long sleeves are good for UV protection and mosquitos. My pants still have stains on them from when I went hiking through an area which recently had a controlled burn, I don't think the soot and charcoal will ever come out. Wear something practical and comfortable and don't worry what other people think.

My condolences friend.
I was born and raised in Oregon but I was forced to move. I hope you are able to stand your ground longer than I could.

When I started out, I was. But then I went on a vacation to Spain.
Everybody was walking around with cams. It felt like the whole city was overrun with tourists. I took pics left and right, stopped to take a snap wherever I pleased, all in the cozy blanked of tourism. Nobody gave a fuck about me or the hundreds of others with a cam.

Then I came back home and felt watched wherever I went. FUCK!

It took me some years after that to realize a simple truth: YOU CAN BE A TOURIST WHEREVER YOU GO.
And just like that, I didn't give a fuck anymore. I was just one other guy with a cam.
