Art is about what the creator adds. There are already better photos of almost every urban and natural scene you could travel to. Download them and you can enjoy the place live and also have great pics to share and save.

What you bring to the scene is you and your relationships with the people and things there. That's your marginal advantage from your photos.

You'll get better photos by taking candids than posing portraits everywhere though.

While I generally agree with what you're saying, I will say that candids are not necessarily better than posing portraits. That's a very subjective thing.

There are some cultures that prefer the posed portraits over candids.
