Assuming that photographic images involve a process of aestheticization of events that is related to the construction of social identities, organizing the sensible and promoting standards and norms of behavior, the aim of this article is to study how the identity of Latin America was represented in the magazine O Cruzeiro Internacional from a study of photo reports published in this journal. In this article, we will explore the editorial project of this publication and we will study how this project was materialized in specific photo reports. These photo reports engendered a number of stereotypes about Latin America, linked to the American way of life and its values of development and consumption.
