Our Images
Real Latino Images is created by a team of people who are both bilingual and bicultural. Thus we’re able to bring to our images the cultural reference points of the Hispanic market in the United States. We created our library of images using a proprietary technology called acculturation photography. This revolutionary technique was developed after years of work experience in both Hispanic marketing and cultural marketing --- not just in the United States but in several Latin American countries, as well.
To be a Real Latino means to have an origin in any Spanish-speaking country as well as Brazil. All individuals shown on our Web site have identified themselves as Latinos/Hispanics. The only exceptions are images showing large cultural events featuring people of various nationalities as well as interracial couples where one partner may not be Latino/Hispanic.
What is Acculturation?
Acculturation is the cultural modification of an individual or members of a group as they adapt some of the traits and characteristics of the dominant culture. When Latinos move to the United States from countries as diverse as Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Columbia, Argentina or Brazil, they bring with them the rich culture and diverse traditions of their home countries. As they establish themselves in their new country, they adopt many U.S. traits, characteristics and practices which contribute to their success. At the same time, however, Latinos retain the culture, values and beliefs of their home country. The result of successful acculturation is a group of people who embody the best of both cultures.
