Your English is better than most Americans lol. Seriously, good luck.

This sounds very interesting. Please keep us updated and if there is a link it will be good to follow 😁

I have a friend who grew up there in the Dirty War years. The US’s complicity is truly horrifying.

Argentina leaders: I Nazi a problem.

Alessandra Sanguinetti’s set of rural Argentine photos live in my head rent free.

Street photography is a numbers game. The more photos you take - the more you can draw from. So just shoot, what you feel you want to, and when you want to. Don’t worry about making it look pretty or correct.

This sounds like an interesting and important project, and I wish you luck! I’d suggest a few things before you set out: Know the laws around photography in Argentina, keep your gear light, and respect the dignity of the people you’re photographing.

Photography laws In most places it’s perfectly legal to photograph anyone who’s in a public place, and the photographer is automatically the author and copyright holder of any photo that they take. However there’s different laws about what exactly counts as “public” (eg. A shopping mall might be open to the public, but it’s privately owned), whether you can sell an image of a person without their consent, whether you can take photos of cops, et cetera. It’s worth looking into local guidelines for paparazzi and photojournalists.

Knowing the law isn’t a magic bullet for avoiding issues with cops or anyone else who gets confrontational, but it certainly helps.

Gear Minimal gear is good for several reasons: You’re less noticeable, you won’t get overwhelmed by setting up equipment in the moment, and if you need to get the fuck out of somewhere, you can.

Respect your subjects Your work is potentially going to show people in vulnerable or unflattering situations. You have a responsibility not to be exploitative, condescending or overly invasive in your role as a photographer. Take the responsibility seriously.

Interesting. From what I’ve read Milei is closer to a dictatorship than what you currently have.

Do you have sources of the government censoring and even imprisoning artists, journalists and opposition influencers. Again, from what I’ve hear from himself, it’s Milei who wants to bring the hammer down on the opposition.

Why do this post have so many upvotes and zero pictures, what’s going on here?

There are ways in which you can safely convey the message by using subtlety. Take a look at the photographs taken in easter europe during the communist dictatorships and you’ll get plenty of examples. More recent examples are photographs from Russia like the ones from Emil Gataullin

Damn bro, you’re deranged. Hope you get better

For anyone who might be interested in the subject matter, Argentina is currently in electoral season, and about as horribly polarized in its domestic politics as the US.

This person’s words reflect an extreme and unhinged point of view that only correlates with reality in common places in the Latin American condition: poverty, corruption. Things ubiquitous even in the United States if you care to visit places away from the large cities.

The reality is that Argentina’s democracy is healthy, its media landscape is diverse (with a majority privately-owned opposition representation, as a matter of fact), and its electoral system (despite routine claims from the losing party) is internationally regarded as fair.

This is immediately apparent to anyone familiar with the US system, for example. Glaring issues in the US system like gerrymandering, unfair party primaries, inconsistent and unfair rules for ballot access, corrupt campaign finance and media access systems, an electoral college that distorts the will of the majority – these problems are all absent in the electoral system of Argentina.

It’s ok to not understand reality at the young age of 23, but my advice to OP is please – please – travel a little, talk to people with other perspectives more, and get out of your echo chamber. And put down that copy of Clarin immediately. :)

“ it is hunger, anger, ignorance, corruption, insecurity and death”.

You have your assignment right here. If you can find 10 images that convey each of these things (50 or 60 photos) you will have something to work with to refine this idea. You’ll know when you’ve got it.

So where are the pictures?

Its just another “Don’t tread on me” guy trying to use electoral fraud asspull to justify that a complete maniac lost the election. It happened here in Chile, is the Trump and Bolsonaro strategy along with Venezuela and fake censorship.

It’s an interesting subject, I don’t know if it’s much different to when I was there five or so years ago. It’s probably pretty easy to go around Buenos Aires and snap photos of extreme poverty (and it’s antecedents) juxtaposed on colonial (and modern) excess. I’d say if you wanted to do a great job, you’d need to take advantage of the diversity. Go into the jungle, the mountains, the desert, and capture how people (including Indigenous peoples) are living there.
