Writing Yearbook Captions That Will Captivate

TELL THE WHOLE STORY As we’ve already established, it’s important for your photographers to take basic notes while they are out on photo assignments. And we also now know from the ABCD method that great captions will include extra details, and even quotes, that really tell a story for the reader. This is essentially photographers working as reporters, albeit on a smaller scale. Once a photo has gotten the 5 W’s, they can get a little bit more context for the event being covered. As an example, if taking pictures at the opening night of the fall musical, get a quote from the lead in the show about how nervous they were. Find out how large the crowd was and how that compared to previous years.
