How to write a good explanation for pictures?

1, the picture description should clearly introduce the news elements and background materials. News photography is different from artistic photography, and it has news timeliness. So when writing a picture, you must pay attention to writing the news elements clearly. Who, when, where, what, why and so on. , should be truthfully written out, so that readers have real feelings.

2. The illustration is closely combined with the picture content and sublimated. Close integration, that is to say, illustrations should not be separated from the picture at will, but should be written closely around the content reflected in the picture. This close combination does not mean simply repeating the picture. While introducing the picture, refine and sublimate it, and point out the significance, function and influence of the news image.

3. Simplicity is very important. The text of the picture should not be too long, usually around dozens of words. Due to special needs, it can be longer, but not more than 200 words. Otherwise, it is an essay.

4, the picture description should be closely combined with the content reflected in the photo. Since the description of news pictures serves for pictures, it is required to write closely around news pictures, and it cannot be separated from news pictures, otherwise it is irrelevant. This close combination also requires that while introducing the picture itself, it should be refined and sublimated, pointing out the significance, function and influence of the news image, rather than simply repeating the picture.

5, the picture description must have a selling point. Some photo libraries use full-text search to retrieve photos, so it's best to add the most selling words in the photo description.
