Hispanic & Latino People
USE THIS SPECIAL KEYWORD IN YOUR METADATA: BRHISPANIC2021
Beautiful, high-spirited and rich in traditions – these and many more narratives describe the Hispanic and Latino cultures. Did you know that Hispanic and Latino terms are often used interchangeably but have different meanings? It’s generally accepted that “Hispanic” refers to Spanish-speaking backgrounds and the term “Latino” refers to people from the Latin American region only. Our buyers are looking for fresh faces of Hispanic and Latino cultures. Moreover, don’t forget that diversity is a top theme of 2021. Remember to add this additional keyword to your clips: DIVERSITYP5BRIEF.
Shot List Thought Starters
- Hispanic and Latino traditional art (paintings, colorful fashion, make-up)
- Hispanic & Latino traditional events, holidays and festivals
- Hispanic and Latino people engaged in everyday activities (cooking, shopping, working out, watching TV, eating traditional dinner together, meeting their families) cleared for commercial use
- Individuals of all ages with Hispanic and Latino heritage dancing and celebrating
People of Hispanic and Latino ethnicity engaged in religious activities, such as praying, going to church - Traditional Hispanic food heritage – traditional food served as dinner, close-ups of the food on a plate, people of Hispanic origin preparing traditional food

Suggested Keywords
Hispanic heritage, Latino heritage, Hispanic culture, Latino people, traditional, Spanish-speaking origin, Mexican food
Target Group
All groups, but specifically ad agencies and corporate clients.
PRO TIP
First, always keep in mind that naturally-looking content cleared for commercial use is much more attractive for our buyers than overly “stocky” clips, especially for filmmakers who want to mix their own footage with media from our collections. Secondly, clips cleared for commercial use should never contain any logos or 3rd party intellectual property, unless you get a property release from the owner. Additionally, any recognizable person in the clip should sign a model release. We highly recommend considering diverse actors or models of all ages, ethnicities, races, religions, genders or sexual orientations. Lastly, choosing the right metadata is crucial for the search algorithm. Never spam your metadata with irrelevant keywords.
Home Gardening

We are happy to report that low-waste lifestyles and eco-friendly thinking are now trending more than ever. Ecological topics, along with diversity, are going to be a big focus this year, so keep both of these in mind as a trending category and an evergreen concept throughout 2021. Did you know that aquaponics systems combining aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish or snails in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) consume around 90% less water and have 10 times larger production per unit than traditional agriculture without any fertilizers or chemistry? Welcome to the future!
