I'll show you how to made caption text properly. There are several things to note including:

  • Check the facts. Be accurate with credit lines, details and anything else that might catch a reader’s eye.
  • Captions should add new information. Don’t merely repeat the story headline or summary, and avoid stating the obvious elements that are captured in the image.
  • Always identify the main people in the photograph.
  • A photograph captures a moment in time. Whenever possible, use present tense. This creates a sense of immediacy and impact.
  • Conversational language works best. Write the caption as though you are talking to a family member or friend.
  • The tone of the caption should match the tone of the image. Don’t try to be humorous when the photo is not.
