WHAT REALLY MAKES A GOOD CAPTION? • Avoid stating the obvious. (“Looking into the camera…”) • Identify all people in the picture who are seen clearly. be sure to follow a pattern in doing the IDs, and tell your reader the pattern (“left to right”, etc. ) • Don’t start a caption with a person’s name or the name of the school. • Try not to start every caption in the same way. Be creative! Use a prepositional phrase (“During the state soccer tournament”) and -ing words (“Kicking in for the last few yards”), or other techniques. Don’t overuse any one technique! • For stand-alone feature photos, compose a headline to go with the caption. • Give the reader a lot of information in the caption. Use two or three sentences, if possible. • Using quotes in a caption adds a personal voice. • Be sure photographers are trained to get IDs and additional information as they take the pictures. Caption writing is so much easier this way! • Always include a photo credit. (“Photo by…”)
