A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I find it slightly confusing what you want to do. Usually photographers who shoot for NGOs are serious documentary photographers and not really wanting to do quirky fashion shoots with the locals. NGO photographers are interested in travel work and that in some way is part of the brief. You seem to want to cover quite a few areas, that in itself isn’t bad (i like the ambition!) but i think you really need to nail down your intentions and aims for any trip.
For sure! I’m definitely going to nail it down a bit more. It’s completely new. I’ve done fashion editorial photography for about a year and want to take that within traveling now.
In my mind I want to: Do editorial travel photography were I take quirky fashion shoots of locals and or doing street photography in the area to get a grasp on the culture. (This would be for my own personal interests)
Then for the financial aspect (because we do still need to live): I plan on opening a non profit to teach my skills to students in these areas that want to learn creativity. It would be photography of course, and my other gifts such as dance and fashion. This would require a 501c3.
