Regardless of whether you speak the language or are familiar with a culture, the picture should hold up.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
No matter what your cultural sophistication or what language you speak, everyone can understand images.
Image is an international language.
The vast majority of English folk cannot and will not consider a picture as a picture, apart from any story which it may be supposed to tell.
If you respect a language and culture, it shows in your work.
I really hold on to my culture because it is what made me.
The language of the moment or, as it were, the language of the order in which we live, is the image. I felt that if I wanted to commune with the public, I should best do so through the language of image. It's a conscious embrace of a contradiction.
People should be able to express their culture without getting into all that chauvinistic thing.
You have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it.
I don't think you lose culture because you act different cultures.
I don't think anyone could write about another culture and get it 100 percent accurate.
