Stereotypes, true or false?
Our photo was taken in Nyhavn and shows two tourists who is wearing beanies with the Norwegian flag and colours. On the photo you see a man and a woman who seems to be travelling together. We talked to the couple and we learned that they were from Italy. They just arrived in Denmark earlier today, but they have been travelling around in Scandinavia. They said that they were surprised by the cold weather compared to the weather they were used to in Italy. Because of that they each bought a beanie to keep them warm. We have chosen this photo because of the contrasts from the beanie colours. We liked that it had a foreground (the couple), and a background (the buildings and the movement of the cars and the people). It is a fun picture because it shows all the predictions of a typical tourist. So in this case the stereotype is true about tourists. It was a picture taken in the moment, because we took the photo and then afterwards interviewed them, and that makes it a press photo. If it had been an artistic photo we would have manipulated the photo. The lifestyle of the couple is hard to fit in the Minerva model because we the model is mostly based on the Danish population. We did not learn much about their personal life and we did not get a chance to ask them about it, because it can be something that people do not really want to share with strangers.
