Reminder that you can not succeed as a street photographer in todays white west.

The western world used to be well controlled by a patriarchal and religious system that adhered to morals, manners, honor, dignity, and decency which gave it a thematically consistent appearance that was conducive to artistic photographs

Today's world is about freedom to the point that some european countries have legalized bestiality if the animal enjoys it, and the US is allowing trans propaganda in elementary schools, and you can no longer take an aesthetic street photo. The excess of freedom has created an ugly earth, an aesthetic vomit pile, littered with fat chunks of shit staring at their glass rectangles as they walk between buildings built to compliment a beautiful city and ugly behemoths meant to "subvert" and "critically deconstruct" "colonial white male aesthetics" ("and that's a good thing"). There is nothing left to photograph but ugliness, so street photography will never be great again, outside of places like china and japan that are still controlled by men and their dogma. Perhaps you could take some nice photos on a campus controlled by elon musk, but never where people are free, because 50% of people are below average and should never have been given freedom to shit the world up as they please. You can find some cohesion in black america too - because blacks are patriarchal and religious, so predominantly black areas have some consistency and order to them that white areas do not. Blacks still feel true pride and true shame. They're good to photograph.

You have nothing to do, and are to do nothing, but document the ugliness around you, and pretend "and that's a good thing". Have fun.
>Thought you could escape it by doing portraits? Just wait until the fat ugly shits and non-passing 43rd gender trannies want a session, and you realize what will happen if you say no or say yes and don't publish it - you're bigoted against muh heckin big boned hoarmones!

White people why did you stop having style and a culture?

It was the death of christ, courtesy of subverting soviet fifth columnists during the cold war.

Who is a current successful street photographer in the west?
>>
OP is correct

White people are all fat and dressed like shit walking around looking at weirdo porn on their phone now

If you want skinny people in regional and period correct clothes in an environment that isn't whiplash between globohomo shit and yesterdecade you have to do all your photographing in predominantly black and brown areas.

Average white person on the street = wearing the cheapest clothes from kroger, sipping a latte, searching e621 for "dickgirl wolf equine_penis"
Average black person on the street = Sick ass bling and smoking a cigarette
Average white persons car = soulless appliance blob
Average black persons car = Sweet 1980s caddy or new camaro

Do you even know what street photography is? If you dont want to capture photos in the streets because you think theyre ugly, then just dont do street photography? Sounds like portrait studio photography in a controlled environment is what you should be doing where you can airbrush and make everything white in post. Fucking retards lmao

First I want to say that you you should kill yourself for sucking the balls of gaylon musk.

Why don't you start doing documentary photography? City are shitholes no matter what race. You need to take the rural pill.

Also read On Being a Photographer by David Hurn(if you're an ADHD fag then at least read ON Subject chapter) to know the documentary process.

That means meth, illegals and rampant degeneracy in the US
Appalachia memes became the entire rural area sans bigfoot
>>
>>4375467
yup. "rural" really means either drug addicts and decay or extremely wealthy and degenerate. There is no secret garden that exists from which you can escape modernity into. Everything is bad, everything is corrupt, everything is falling apart.

Pride is a sin and you should be ashamed for indulging in it.

>>4375692
Pride is what moves the world forward. Jesus was all about peasants knowing their place and fully submitting to their masters.

for some russian street photography, really shows how much older architecture etc makes the images look so much nicer.

Documenting the degeneracy has value on its own though. If this world lasts then surely someone in the future when all of this is reversed will be in awe at how awful it was.

>western world used to be well controlled by a patriarchal and religious system that adhered to morals,

Oh good, another wall of text from yet another one of humanities supergeniuses who needs a fucking internet soapbox to tell everyone how fucking stupid he is bc no one irl will put up with his stupidity. If you think the "morals" of a dozen collapsed bronze age desert dweller cults constitutes anything but early civilizations first crude attempts during the first stages of urbanization, you haven't even begun to think about morality or ethics, & have no business writing beyond the midway point of that sentence until you familiarize your dumb ass with any of the shit you think you have something to say about. Suck a fat one and choke on it loser.

Have fun shooting street without moderm cars or fat dysgenics on their phones

Your photography would look like eggy’s or have to be heavily staged. Street is dead.
>>
>>4375952
>Have fun shooting street without modern automobiles or Italian dysgenics smoking their ciggies
You could say this about any point in history, it's fine that you romanticize the past or whatever but the reality is that people have been bemoaning contemporary degeneracy, complaining about the youth, etc since the time of Aristotle so it's not like you're even original in trotting out this chestnut.
