The first step in Arc Raiders new Sheltered Retreat project to build your outpost is to "take a photo of any farmland house around the Ruined Homestead on The Blue Gate map."
You can find the Ruined Homestead in the south of the region, just by the Olive Grove where everyone used to fight over lemons and olives for Scrappy. First, though, you'll need a camera item.

Of course, having to bring a camera also means you can no longer use free loadouts to complete quests involving photos. I suggest storing your camera in your safe pocket until you need it.
