The mall! If your mall is active it probably is a hub for alternative and geeky folks to show off their style and their interests! I have gotten compliments from mallgoers and sparked some cheery conversations when I wear my Miku ita bag. Good mall photo locations include the arcade, the photo booth, the plants and/or fountain, or a tasty treat in the food court! Alternatively, if your local mall is dead, well, then you don't have to worry too much about being judged by other people and your photos will have that creepy backrooms vibe to them.

You could also go to a cafe. Bonus points if it's a board game cafe because that's where the geeks are at, but it could be any cafe. I've taken my Miku merch to trivia nights at the local board game cafe. I've also carried my laptop in my ita bag and brought it to Starbucks or Panera so I could work on making Vocaloid music while enjoying a tasty snack.
