How to be an efficient caption writer for PJ

    Captions are important to mount with you picture in photojournalism because, they identify and explain facts that aren’t perceived by the audience viewing them. The captions are needed to let people know of the missing elements in a photo. These are some thing that I  learned:

• Caption shouldn’t exceed more than two sentences 
• The importance of having the peoples’ names in the photo going from left to right and also letting your readers know that is in your captions  
• What is going on in the picture or the action
• Never  include past and present tenses in a caption otherwise the reader will get confused

   The AP Stylebook is a guide used by amateur and pro photojournalists to ensure correct grammar is acquired in their writing and style.   I feel  more confident about writing and getting the proper information for my captions after doing this assignment from the AP Stylebook.
