CULTURAL SENSITIVITY
Photography is a useful tool to help convey an experience or a memory, but it is important to recognize the power photos can have and to share them ethically. Photos must be culturally appropriate and sensitive.
Please avoid images that
- Stereotype
- Exploit
- Disrespect
- Make false generalizations
- Lead to inaccuracy or misrepresentations of the host country, people, or setting.
When submitting photos of people, think less like a tourist and more like a local who is communicating what it is like to experience day-to-day events and activities.
