Writing Photo Captions gk_dora https://padlet.com/gk_dora/43ylf3eb7saf/wish/166516613 Photo captions are often the first elements of a publication to be read. Writing photo captions is an essential part of the news photographer’s job. A photo caption should provide the reader basic information needed to understand a photograph and its relevance to the news. It should be written in a consistent, concise format that allows news organizations to move the photo to publication without delay.  In most photo captions the first sentence identifies the people and place in the photograph and supply the date and location where it was taken. The second (and perhaps third) sentence should provide contextual information to help readers understand what they are looking at.

Writing help gk_dora https://padlet.com/gk_dora/43ylf3eb7saf/wish/166518208 Writing Captions

•         Do not begin with the words a, an or the.
•         Use present tense to describe action in a photo.
•         Give readers information they cannot get from just looking at a photo.
•         A caption should complete the photo. The reader should not have to look at the story, but should want to look at the story.
•         Write captions so they go from specific to general or general to specific.
•         Do not begin a caption with names.
•         When identifying members of a group, write “from left,” not “from left to right.”
•         “Above” and “pictured here” are unnecessary.
•         Captions should not repeat information contained in the lead.
•         Name people only if they are important to the picture.
•         Vary the way you begin captions:

-prepositional phrases
 -infinitive -phrases
 -participial phrases
 -adjective phrases
 -questions
 -exclamations
 -play on words

No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark
you only run for the border when you see the whole city running as well  your neighbors running faster than you breath bloody in their throats the boy you went to school with who kissed you dizzy behind the old tin factory is holding a gun bigger than his body you only leave home when home won’t let you stay.  
No one leaves home unless home chases you fire under feet hot blood in your belly it’s not something you ever thought of doing until the blade burnt threats into your neck and even then you carried the anthem under your breath only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets sobbing as each mouthful of paper made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.  you have to understand, that no one puts their children in a boat unless the water is safer than the land no one burns their palms under trains beneath carriages no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled means something more than journey. no one crawls under fences no one wants to be beaten pitied …………………………………………………………
