Continuing Education Series: Caption Writing and Journaling in Documentary Practice with Victor J. Blue

How do we write accurate, valuable captions that provide documentary veracity to our images? How can keeping journals and field notebooks enhance and bolster our photo practice? What do we include, and what do we leave out of both?

In this session of our Continuing Education Series, participants learn how to write and add professional captions to their images. Victor J. Blue also discusses techniques for incorporating notes, reporting, and personal reflections into your work.

The session is led by Victor J. Blue, a New York-based photojournalist whose work is primarily focused on the legacy of armed conflict, the reclamation of human rights, and the unequal outcomes resulting from policy and politics. Victor holds a Master’s Degree in Visual Communication from Ohio University and is a 2024 ASU Future Security Fellow at the New America Foundation.
