Advanced Caption Tips and Tricks
Want even better captions? These essential tips and tricks can improve your next photo upload, whether with one good friend or a group.
Incorporate Personal Touches
The above ideas can go a long way in creating a great caption. However, they’re not personalized – that’s only something you can do.
Before hitting the publish button on Instagram, consider what items you can add that make the caption more you.
If you post a family group photo, what inside jokes, nicknames, or shared experiences could you add to make the caption livelier?
Also, consider how your family dynamics were changing when you took the photo. Did you take the picture while bonding over a campfire or on holiday? What emotions best capture the moment?
If you’re posting a college friends reunion photo, what shared memories from your college days come to mind? Also, consider adding humor as a way of making it personal. If you’re still waiting for someone (who’s also in the photo) to pay you back for that pizza you bought them during college, mention it in the caption!
There’s always a fun way to make it personal.
Keep It Concise And Relatable
Don’t go overboard with your group photo caption. The idea is to say what you need to say in as many words as needed – but not more.
You don’t have to recount the whole experience, but you do need to give relatable details that add to the picture.
For example, here’s a very concise and relatable group photo caption for a college reunion party:
Different paths, same roots🌲
In just four words, this caption shows you’re still friends with the people in your photo. This happened even though life took you down different routes. I think such simplicity is beautiful
Showcase The Beauty Of The Group
Focusing on the:
- diversity
- unity
- unique qualities
… within a group photo is another important factor.
Is there a mix of cultures, ideas, professions, or personalities in your group? Your caption should touch on this.
You can also mention traits such as brains, beauty, and humor. This is a great way to drop in an inside joke as well.
You can also use a quote to capture the beauty of the group within the photo. This quote will depend on the group, the occasion, the location, and many other factors.
Use Active Voice And Strong Verbs
Quick English lesson – using the active voice means speaking about someone doing an action. For example, “Jack ate the apple”. The passive voice refers to the object (the apple) and what happened to it (for example, “the apple was eaten by Jack”).
Your captions should use the active voice as much as possible. You want the caption to focus on the subjects (i.e. the people in the picture) and what they were doing when the photo was taken.
Also, focus on strong verbs. These are great for capturing the moment. Here are some ideas (of what to say and not say):
- Say: “We conquered the mountain’s peak at sunrise”
- Don’t say: ”We were at the top of the mountain when the sun came up.”
- Say: “We grilled our feast under a blanket of stars.”
- Don’t say: “We cooked dinner”.
The first examples give the same meaning but much better execution.
Ask Questions And Encourage Interaction
Finally, as a social media platform, Instagram is an excellent tool for asking questions.
Asking questions means you’ll get more interaction. In turn, your post will reach more people on the platform. Win-win for everyone.
The question is, “How do you ask questions that make people want to respond?”
The last thing you want is to be left hanging with no answers to your questions.
Here are the main factors:
- Make the question(s) relevant to the post
- Keep the question open-ended
- Use light-hearted questions that don’t require much thought to answer
- Write out the question as if you were speaking to only one person
Here are some excellent examples:
- What’s the funniest thing your pet has done?
- What motivates you to stay fit?
- What’s your favorite coffee order and why?
Conclusion
While a picture is worth 1000 words, the words underneath a picture can turn an average photo into a fantastic memory.
By using the ideas from the above lists and adding your own twist (using the tips I gave you), you’ll be ready to create great captions anytime.
