The importance of caption writting

    It is believed  that a picture says a thousand words, but in some cases especially magazines and news papers a plain picture can leave a reader hanging with a lot of questions.
    For instance when am reading a  news paper or a magazine and come across a picture the first thing that comes into my mind is;

  • Who is that in the picture
  • What was the occasion
  • Where was is taken
  • Does the picture relate to what is written , but good thing most pictures have captions underneath.
    Caption writing are words that describe a photograph. I think caption writing is very important because it makes it easier for the reader to understand the picture. Sometimes captions act as a summary once you read the outline you could at least know what is going on.
