To get authentic photographs, leave and come back later discreetly. 4⃣ Fixed focal lense A zoom lense can push you to be static whereas a fixed focal to be more mobile, more flexible and find different angles and point of views to better tell your story. 5⃣ Don't be offended if sometimes you find closed doors When you visit a community, you are the guest.
