Writing Yearbook Captions That Will Captivate

START WITH THE BASICS It’s important to remember that captions can’t be written if the most basic information of the photo –the who, what, when, where, why and how (5 W’s and H) – hasn’t been recorded. Every member of your yearbook staff, including the photographers, need to consider themselves journalists. Make sure your photos are taking notes when they are out shooting photos and covering events. Whenever possible, you want to avoid the hassle of trying to track down the names of subjects in photos once you’re working with pictures on the page.
