I always worry about shooting people on the street. Actually, the way people are anymore, I worry about buildings, boats, and random trees too. Always concerned that someone is going to be offended or angry. I've had people question what I was doing before, ask who I'm "working for"...
When you go to shoot with that kind of thought process people can and will pick up on it. If you're out of your comfort zone people notice. Start small go to a park just take pictures of objects while people are there. It's all about confidence. I was the same way, though totally different ecosystem, when I first got my ems license. I was more worried about what to do and if it was going to be the right intervention that I could tell it didn't make my patient very comfortable. If you aren't confident in your skills you won't get near the results you're after. Someone will always be negative in life that's just the rule. You just gotta be able to keep calm and collected. If you feel unsure move on. Most people don't mind. We get amateur and pro photographers on our scene all the time. We don't mind it since they keep to themselves. If it's a bad scene we will ask them to politely move on. It's when they ignore it that it becomes a problem and yes we will forcefully remove you. So all in all just be quiet be confident and be polite, and don't be afraid to kiss a little butt if someone disagrees with your mission.
