This photo is the most powerful because you can see the struggle he has and all the gear he has had to use that helped lead to his struggle. There seems to be a lot of emotion in his stance.
All the images in the articles show him from end of high school to marriage after being in Iraq. The photos are all in chronological order that showcase his life for the time it was recorded. Each one is a different moment that leads to the next.
The captions enhance the photo by expressing the emotion of what is going on the photo and telling you the story of why. A picture can have a lot of interpretation, but the captions make sure that the emotion and story isn't mis-told/misinterpreted.
Ian Fisher said goodbye to his loved ones when he joined the military after High School, an he had weeks of hard, painful training, and he was sent off to Iraq. He happily married his girlfriend once he returned home.
The verbs are normally present tense.
- The captions are probably 2 sentences on average.
- The first sentence explain what's happening in the moment of the photograph.
- The second sentence is more information to explain why that moment is happening.
- The third sentence mainly adds extra information that finishes up the caption.
- A lot of captions include quotes.
- Some captions do have 4 sentences.
I think it's possible to tell a story just through photos and captions because it's like a movie, the photo shows you what's happening and the caption explains whats happening.
You should still bother righting a story because the story can let you give all these details that you weren't able to capture in the moment, but it's still necessary or would be good to tell. The story can inform the readers more.
