Attention, passengers. This is your CAPTION speaking.
Helllllllo, photographers!
As discussed, this week we are entering the vast and informative world of photojournalism. Here, we'll learn how to take effective photos that can show an incredible amount of details, tell an important story, and really grip our audience.
We learned a lot from looking at Martha Rial's work. One of the biggest things we noticed was that her photos said a lot on their own, BUT a clearer story was told with the use of just one or two lines. This bit of information, or a caption, can be used to really confirm a viewer's observations or speculations. Together, photos and captions can really tell a complete story.
You will learn how to do this in a way that suits you and your work! More on that in this week's class. (Don't forget to join us tomorrow, Wednesday May 20!)
Here are some samples of captioning your work:

Laura and her son, Rowan, make unexpected memories as they save money by skipping the laundromat.
Laura feels she's doing her part for our environment as she hangs laundry to dry in the backyard of her Morningside home.
Before getting thrown into the recycling bin, a plastic sour cream container gets reused as a planter for new tomato plants.
